It doesn’t, but it usually does impact others. Whether or not you think it’s sufficient for government intervention is obviously political, whether it be maintaining a neighborhood’s design to prop up resale value and keep out riff raft via HOA, or not letting people cut down trees for environmental or even aesthetic reasons, etc.

Almost everything we do impacts others though, in some way.

Ah, you might have guessed I lean decidedly libertarian on the topic :^). I'm certainly with some things (esp pollution, or destruction of other's property), but I have precisely no interest in catering to someone's 'property values' or aesthetics. I'm usually ok with reasonable stuff like adhering to city codes, but I would never by a detached home with an HOA.
