I'm not sure what the issue is with any of those scenarios. If someone rightfully obtains a property they are in the same position as the original homesteader.

- davidw 10y agoSo... the original homesteader builds a house somewhere. Other houses are built nearby. It's a quiet neighborhood. I buy the original homesteader house and open my heavy metal venue? And that's ok? I bet the neighbors won't be happy. I get the concept of "you chose to build your house next to a heavy metal venue and they were there first, so you can put a sock in it", but it's kind of incomplete.

The neighbor's have homesteaded their property (or obtained it from the original homesteaders) and the noise would be a trespass on their properties.
- davidw 10y agoHow about a punk music bar that sees people coming and going at all hours. It's soundproofed, though and let's say the patrons are fairly quiet outside, although they sure look out of place in the neighborhood. The neighbors would not be happy.
- ancap 10y agoIt's ok for neighbors to not be happy. I can be unhappy if my neighbor paints their house chartreuse, but it doesn't mean I should have any say on what color my neighbor's house should be. For those who want to ensure their neighbor's home is not turned into a punk music bar, they can either buy the neighbor's home and rent it out (kind of like Mark Zuckerberg does), form some sort of HOA, or move into a neighborhood with an existing HOA.
- davidw 10y agoFine, but that's pretty far outside of the mainstream these days, so if the neighbors don't like it, they can and will block it, unfortunately.
