Then it would appear my comments have been for the few that haven't heard it all before, and you are not one of them.
Was this a rhetorical question? "How does having my house near the street on my lot restrict public usage of the street?"
If you have heard the argument before, ad infinitum, then you obviously already knew one of the possible answers. So yes, it must have a rhetorical question. But no one else but you would have been able to know that, and I mistook it for genuine confusion or curiosity. Why would you criticize someone trying to answer a question that you asked? It would have been easy enough to mention that you had already heard the incident sunlight argument and reject it.
For the record, I reject it, but whether I agree or not, that is one basis for the architectural restrictions included in zoning laws all across the US. Knowing that it is such a trivial and frivolous reason is just another reason to dislike zoning, along with knowing that land-usage restrictions are based on racism.
