Same way it is illegal in some counties to have cars on blocks in your front yard.

In other words, not at all.

And let's talk about property values. You may assign a value to your property by the amount of money you could sell it for. Another may assign a value to his property by the amount of utility he gains from it. By limiting another's property rights by dictating, for example, that he may not have cars on blocks, you have gained an increase your property value by taking away, by force, the property rights that gives another value to his property. A piece of property deviod of property rights so resticted by numerous rules of that type would be perfectly worthless to me.

As usual, this will be done at gunpoint. If this all sounds a lot like theft, that's because it is.

It cannot be theft, because you have NEVER owned all the rights to your property. Not if you live in the U.S. How can it be theft, if you never owned it in the first place.

When you purchased your property, you, in essence, signed a contract to obey all town, state, and federal laws. For this Libertarian utopia you wish, you would have to start a new country. Then we can send all our degenerates over there. :-)
