Ha. Don't come in Europe cities. There _are_ regulations in cities about that. And rightly so.

Property rights are usually a literal appeal to authority (e.g. a community or a government).

Can you please not do flamewar (especially the ideological kind) or take personal swipes on HN?

Your mischaracterization of why people are getting angry is quite funny to me.

looking at the majority of posts it seems like people are angry about "noise"?
