So IMO what you are referring to is a difference between urban and suburban/rural. Where I live, properties are well separated, and multi-tenant apartments and condos already have rules for things like this. As I'm sure you are aware, in an apartment or condo situation, you do not really own anything outside the drywall. I am speaking primarily about where I have the most knowledge: single family homes.
Unlike with personal electronics, real estate typically does not exist in a bubble and affects lives of other people living nearby.
Both you and your neighbours would be affected by noise or lack of trash disposal.
If the people in the flat upstairs would flood their flat, the flats below would be flooded and damaged too.
If your neighbours don't like what their neighbourhood is becoming - they have the same right to decide what it should be as you do.
"Do as I wish" has limits in human communities.
