But in a normal urban/suburban setting he is adversely affecting the property values of all of his neighbors. He does NOT have a right to do that!

I am beginning to truly believe that all our constitutional rights are going down the drain due to...fools like you spouting the PROPERTY VALUES right...which does not exist.

Hm. So you're basically suggesting that my house will sell for the same price regardless of what kind of neighborhood it's in. After all, the prospective buyers will pay no attention to anything beyond my property lines.... (Yeah, right.)

And that I have no legitimate recourse to ensure the quality of life in my neighborhood?

And that I have no right to complain if Joe next door decides to turn his house into a brothel, and the guy across the street to open a biker bar?

You're apparently pretending that being a member of a community does not involve a trade of property rights against community interests. Both sets of concerns are legitimate.

Some people obviously have the original draft of the Bill of Rights with the extra amendment, the "right to high property values". what maroons!

I never claimed that "property values" are a RIGHT, only that others do not have the right to TAKE them from me. It's kind of like my right to swing my fist ending where your nose begins.

Conservo? Seems that maybe you've been camping out with the "no rules" folks over in the Libertarian camp (Our misguided but beloved bretheren).
