The road example I get, but why do you care what other people do on their property?

We bought our house in 2016, next to an old tear down house. (I’m talking about plants growing inside because the roof doesn’t keep the water out.) Recently someone bought the house, tore it down, and built a million dollar house in its place. The other day, he gets into a fight with my wife—over various things, but among them the fact that he’s mad we won’t clean our porch. I told him that he’s the idiot who built a million dollar house next to people who were happy living next to a tear down for years.

Now before, I felt a little guilty for keeping the pool toys out there all year, but now I’m definitely not going to put them away.

Because other peoples property effects my my property, in value and enjoyment.

[Etheryte]

This is absurd. Other people don't have to live their life a certain way just because that makes you happy.

[gardenmwm]

No, but common courtesy and cleanliness is something that makes me happy. I’ve lived in neighborhoods that have had rat problems because of a single home that kept trash everywhere. Should I be inconvenienced because someone doesn’t want to do the bare minimum to upkeep their property? Would you be ok if I moved next door to you and hung nazi flags (this has happened to me as well)? When people behave in ways that infringe upon my life, yeah I can be irritated and want to live in an area that they aren’t allowed to do that. People who won’t respect others can continue to live in areas that let them get away with it. I won’t live like that anymore.

Causing a rat problem seems very different to letting weeds grow on their lawn. The rats will migrate elsewhere, potentially toward you. The weeds are pretty harmless.

And there are county-level remedies for nuisances like that.

Restricting nazi flags also restricts pride flags.

The question is "Would you be okay if I hung flags?"

What about other forms of displaying support? Are posters just a cheaper flag?

[lelanthran]

If you're going to restrict flags, restrict all flags.

Otherwise all you're doing is saying "this neighbourhood only allows support for these politics".

Are you sure you want to go that way?

[tomrod]

Yes, I would be okay with restricting Nazi flags and other known hate paraphernalia.

Pride is not hate, despite modern recasting of homosexuality in scripture by conservative religions.

[adwn]

Wtf. Those are not even in the same ballpark. One of them is showing support for people that want to live a "non-standard" lifestyle, the other is showing support for a dictatorial regime that started a world war and murdered millions of people out of some idiotic ideology.

Godwin's law.

[bentcorner]

Should I be allowed to disregard all others in the pursuit of my happiness?

[betwixthewires]

Disregard? Absolutely. Involuntarily involve them? Never.

If in a system of perfect liberty two people have a right to enter in to a contract, and three people have a right to enter in to a contract, and, inductively, as many people who want to live in a housing division have a right to enter in to a contract, then yes, yes they do.

[harryh]

So what? Those other people aren't obligated to do things that lead to your enjoyment. Please.

[Gigachad]

They are in a HOA area though.

[op00to]

What if they enjoy cars?
