Think of it this way: I would like to trade my right to run a hotel out of my house in exchange for a legally enforced expectation that my neighbors won't do this either. I should like to have this enforced through a set of rules, in my case zoning laws, that apply to everyone who buys in a particular geographic region. The law should be clear, so that everyone who does buy here knows that the agreement they've entered. It sounds like you don't believe that residents in a particular neighborhood should be permitted to enter this legally binding arrangement. This is a deep, fundamental disagreement between us, one that probably goes to the heart of how we perceive the relationship between an individual and the community.
