>>If private property has any meaning, then the OWNER of that property gets to decide what to do with it.

>But we don't get to do that absolutely. There are zoning laws and deed restrictions and other limits to what we can do with our property. (The deed to my first house specifically prohibited putting a glue factory on the site. :-))

We all have rights - mine certainly end at your nose.
Zoning laws and deed restrictions have some marginal intersection with right and wrong.
They are not in themselves right, moral or correct.

Glue factories?
I am sure that dashed your hopes for a lucrative sideline.

Tanneries are notorious polluters and rendering plants famously emit noxious odors - animal glue factories can't be much better.

That deed restriction makes sense, and protects your neighbor's rights to breathe.
This is a critical point, and a distinction that seems to be getting lost.

The only standing you have to decide any restrictions on your neighbor's land use or lifestyle is if somehow it infringes your rights.
