Neighbor Fence Question

Last year, I posted about a house on my block. https://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/1139431-weird-new-owners-across-street.html

The house in question is the one on the left in the photo below. It's been a year since the house was purchased by the current owner. It had been remodeled/flipped by a contractor before the current owner. Although everything (save the foundation, framing and interior/exterior walls) was new, the new owner(s) decided it wasn't to her liking. She has spent the last year (no joke) with an endless stream of workmen to put her personal touches in the place. It hasn't bugged me much, but I know many of the surrounding neighbors have grown tired of all the construction work going on for this absentee owner. She would just breeze in every once in awhile in her Lamborghini Urus to supervise the renovations, and then leave.

The homeowner to the right (in the picture) even put up that white vinyl fence about 6 months ago to prevent Lamborghini neighbor's workmen from trampling her corner landscaping.

Yesterday, Lambo/annoying neighbor finally moved in. It's the first night anyone has slept in this effectively new house. Annoying neighbor asked fence neighbor if fence neighbor would take down the fence adjacent to annoying neighbor's driveway, as annoying neighbor cannot park her Urus in the driveway and open its door. It's partially hidden from this perspective, but annoying neighbor's yard has a cinder block wall (installed by the flipper contractor) that runs along the sidewalk (as depicted) and wraps around to run along the driveway to the front facade of the house. This prevents annoying neighbor from parking head-in and opening her car door. So she tried backing in her Lambo, but then realized she still couldn't open her door die to the vinyl fencing. Perhaps she bought (leased) the wrong Lambo. The moment I saw flipper contractor installing that wall along the length of the driveway, I commented to Mrs. Noah that it was a stupid idea for exactly this problem.

If you were fence neighbor, what would you do? Fence neighbor (who is a really nice and reasonable person) has been irritated at annoying neighbor (in absentee) for many months already. This is really pissing her off, now. But fence neighbor is a nice person. Is there an amicable way for this to be resolved? Annoying neighbor has already indicated that money is not an issue in resolving this fence issue.
