No, that's not the way it works. When you move into a neighbourhood, a city, a state/province, and a country, you implicitly agree to abide by the rules. If the rules say you're not allowed to build your own house without approval of the design from an architect and an engineer and then you ignore them at your legal peril.

You're talking about "rules" as if they were some immutable dictate sent down from the gods.

The rules in many areas used to forbid selling houses to black people.

Those rules were changed. By force.

If you don’t like the rules then go ahead and change them where you live!
