If your liberty is somehow impacted by the color of my home, please explain how...

  Maybe not the color, but imagine if every one of your neighbors built homes that had no windows facing the sidewalk/street - just a canyon of blank walls, each with a door. I am not wild about the inertia that governs the design review process, but I don't think I'd want there to be no oversight, either.

    That could increase local home values due to uniqueness. What’s lost from codifying building styles is the ability to adapt over time. Old cities are beloved not due to adherence to a ridged design, but rather a mishmash or difficult styles which add character and enhance their surroundings.

  Are you arguing that aesthetics in the built environment have no value?
