I'm curious how each of these things, free market capitalism, private property, and CC&R's (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) interact in terms of political and economic philosophies of their proponents.
Let's skip discussion involving condominiums, where one owns only one;s own living space, and the common grounds are owned by the association. In those kinds of cases of course you can do as you wish inside your walls, but can be restricted by CC&R's in regards to public spaces.
I'm more interested in housing developments, where one owns the house and lot, and where the developments has CC&R's which restrict what one can do in the front yard, for example.
I'm going to put words into the various faction members' mouths:
CC&R people - you agreed to the CC&R's when you bought here. You are subject to a contractual agreement. You must follow the CC&R's, even on your own private property
Private Property people - people should be unrestricted in terms of what they can do on their private property, including being able to open a fish processing business in their garages
Free Market Capitalists - well, you can always go someplace else. You dont have to move into that housing development, where they have restricted your private property rights.
