Unfortunately, it's all about municipalities maximizing tax ratables. That has become more important than individual property rights, especially in suburbia. Libertarians (with a small "l" like us think if it isn't dangerous, the state should not interfere. The modern thought is that if it lowers property values, it should be regulated. Considering that coyotes and deer can get over a 6 foot fence, the rule isn't quite rational, but it's the rule.
