You mention a lot of arbitrary government decisions and government control here. A typical response would be that it is really the people that made the decisions as the people control the government. Maybe it is time to reinforce the point that people are empowering the government to aggress, something they don’t have in the first place.
How about a plug for Mary Ruwart’s Healing Our World. It is an excellent primer on the principle of nonaggression.
Deed restrictions still require government involvement. Last spring (2007) there was a resident (renter) in a neighboring building that would come and go at all hours of the night with his car stereo BLASTING that could be heard from blocks away. He would also sit in the parking lot and watch DVDs in the middle of the night because he had $3000 stereo system in his car. The Home Owners Association has regulations that all car stereo’s must be turned down on entering the property, in addition to “quiet” hours from 9-7 (or something like that), or they can be fined $25 first time, $50 second, and $75 each additional.
Over a 2 month period I was woken up from sleep something like 45 times (and he was in the next building) in the middle of the night. The HOA can also fine the owner who rented to him and took steps to do that, but the owner refused to pay and didn’t believe that the problem could actually be as bad as it was, as they had “done a background check on the person,” a Katrina refugee who told the owner the 30+ residents who had complained (out of something like 128 units) were just racially discriminating against him because they didn’t like a black person in the parking lot at night. No one would have known he was there except for the noise.
Finally, after an additional background check by the HOA via a resident who had connections with the police, everyone was notified that he was to be considered armed and dangerous, and to not confront him. I never did find exactly what that was about. Only when the owner was presented with that information, did they actually evict him.
The point is, even with the deed restrictions, the government, through the courts, would have been required to be used to force the owner to pay the fines for each noise violation, and/or to get them to evict the person.
