sure. but i'd never end up living in a place that tended to feature folks like that.
foolish? giving up choice? no... i'm choosing to live in a place that precludes others from doing stupid shit that i myself would never do. i have no problem with seeking the approval of, say, a homeowner's association if i wanted to make some change to the gross outer dimensions of a dwelling, and i would be happy that as part of that association, i'd have a say in any plans others had that would impact my enjoyment of my property.
it's not all fire and brimstone liberty and freedom all the time gonz. in this case, it's called 'protecting yourself from fuckheads with poor taste.' and in another way, it's simply an extension of gentlemanly courtesy.
what does your neighborhood look like, by the way? you're telling me there's no eyesores?

you don't notice your surroundings? that's quite odd. must be why you don't care.
may your neighbors paint their houses pink and orange, repair cars on their front lawns, and own packs of roaming goats. you are then free to move and lose money on your house.
If I have no right to trespass on it, change it, sell it or give it away, it's private.
In the case of Bear Shit in the Woods Estates, the association has no responsibility to upkeep my property, maintain my property, repair my property or finance my property yet they have the right to tell I must do these things & how I must do them.
The chance of a purple house with lime green trim is a small price to pay in comparison to forgoing the rights to my property.
This issue is a great indicator of the gulf between our viewpoints. We may have a similar baseline, in general, but, in specific, we're leagues apart.
I refuse to give up my liberty to anyone for anything while you are willing to uphold the community over the individual. Hey, that sounds like....

yes, i am willing to uphold a standard that both my neighbors and i have made a choice to participate in, and pay for. don't like it, don't choose it. you keep fighting for your freedom. i'll be over here in the place without appliances on the front porch, and better value retention.
