Since your home is your biggest outlet of money it only makes sense to do everything you can to keep its value up, and that includes the neighborhood and area which all factor into the resale price or equity growth. I have seen super nice sub-divisions go to pot, when there are no rules, so it does effect everyone.
As has been stated, if you don't like the rules, DON'T BUY/MOVE/LIVE in TV!

You are absolutely right, Army Guy. I was in real estate and nothing would kill a sale quicker than a neighborhood with no or poorly enforced restrictions.
I am a resident here and one of the reasons is there are sensible restrictions. They are easy to live with and serve us all well.
