It's unfortunate but telling that the code site has this wording, but there is a steelman version of this type of sentiment. Sufficient neighborhood blight can have a direct impact on the quality of life of the people living in the neighborhood, even if they don't plan to ever sell their house and don't care about resale value. I would argue this is far more the case with things like ostentatious lighting, noise violations, and bad smells than with something like non-functional cars being visible in driveways, and this doesn't personally bother me. I do my own repairs and my next-door neighbor has been working on a project RV for nearly two years now, which I'm also fine with. However, I am absolutely not fine with the party house AirBNB next door to me on the other side that is constantly hosting bachelor and bachelorette parties with DJs and strippers playing loud music on Sunday night when I need to get up early in the morning to work on Monday, also filling up the entire street with vehicles and leaving nowhere to park for people who actually live here. So yeah, that I'll complain about.
