There is a right answer. "What's mine is none of your god damn business." If you're investing in property, great, don't make your problems my problem.

Exactly. They “hedge” their investments through monied expression and bullying of others enjoying their own property. Pretty standard sociopathic capitalist formula, to be honest.

  Eh, I'm not with you on the whole anti capitalism angle to all this, I think "what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours so leave me alone and I'll leave you alone" about covers it.

    Fair point. Just consider: the only reason one investor will complain abt “value” - is because that value exists on a market that’s (purpose) built to extract as much “value” as possible with very little, often fought for, regard for humanity.

Sorry, you live in a society so that doesn't work in theory or in practice.

  "I also exist so you have to live bu my rules" it doesn't make a lot of sense when you boil it down to itst essence. Just because I live in proximity to people doesn't mean they get to dictate the terms of my life beyond whatever involvement I have with them directly. Just because you want it to be that way doesn't mean it will be, and me and others like me will keep pushing to be left alone by people who get a hard on looking to exert power over us.

    > Just because I live in proximity to people doesn't mean they get to dictate the terms of my life beyond whatever involvement I have with them directly. They do though, always have and always will. Society can't function unless they do. You keep the noise down, don't play with noxious materials, you can't put a shooting range in your yard facing their house, can't build a building too close to their property, can't operate a business with customers without certain permitting, have to maintain a certain level of cleanliness... I could come up with dozens of things you have to do for the sake of your neighbors.
