My experience in the US is that most folks' attitude about their home is that they should be able to do whatever they want, but no one around them should be able to change anything unless they like it.

America is full of people who believe in their right to be completely their own person, and that everyone else should be exactly like them as well. By force, if necessary.

This is much more common in HOA-style developments.

You still get it in older non-HOA governed areas, but it's at least then at the level of laws (our town bans roosters and taxes chickens insanely high for example, lol).
