You can have your opinion, as long as you don't expect the law to change to conform to it.

Under some circumstances, property can be sold with covenants that restrict how it is used and how it appears. Near my home is a property that was built for one of Washington's foremen, on part of the Washington estate. There used to be four or five of these houses in Fairfax County, and now there is only one left.

The owner sold his property a few years ago to a builder, who was going to tear down the original house (from the 1700s) and section the property for about 8 or 10 McMansions. The county stepped in and stopped this, and now the property is for sale specifically to someone who will preserve the house and grounds, which possibly have the oldest living boxwoods in the commonwealth of Virginia.

So yes, that can be done.

FYI:

The original ending to Chinatown was changed prior to release over screenwriter Bob Towne's objections. In the original ending the car drives away. The camera follows the car and stops as it passes a grove of orange trees. The picture morphs into an empty field and then into suburban houses.

OK that said, then we can intervene into the perversion by Hollywood and it's immoral writers.

I would suggest spraying these cockroaches with Raid to start.
