If you have a legitimate interest, why not buy out the block yourself and live in your own little Shangri La? Otherwise, you are asking the government to subsidize your lifestyle preferentially over that of your neighbors. Believe it or not, the people living in the apartment next door with the spotlights are your neighbors too.

If my purposely extreme example isn't extreme enough to get you to side against it, just imagine one that's even more extreme.

If your purposely extreme example wasn't enough to convince, why do you think your hypothetical "more extreme" example will?
