False equivalence.

Unlike with personal electronics, real estate typically does not exist in a bubble and affects lives of other people living nearby.

Both you and your neighbours would be affected by noise or lack of trash disposal.

If the people in the flat upstairs would flood their flat, the flats below would be flooded and damaged too.

If your neighbours don't like what their neighbourhood is becoming - they have the same right to decide what it should be as you do.

"Do as I wish" has limits in human communities.
