Now you are changing the argument. Your initial assertion was "No where, no way, no how, does any governing body have a right to impose laws without a legal cause to do so." Now your assertion is "If some citizens believe they lost their rights to operate a STR in NYC they have right to take it to court."

Yes, they can take it to court, but they will likely lose. The Govt has the ability to make laws that strip or limit the people's rights. That is why we have a Bill of Rights, to explicitly list some of the rights the Govt cannot take away (though they still try, sometimes successfully). The Govt does impose laws that take away rights.

You are very much FORCED to follow the law, particularly the laws that have taken away your rights. Yes, you can vote in the next election but that doesn't change the reality that you are FORCED to follow current law.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
