Although I get her point I think she’s antisocial and being a bad neighbor. Especially by insisting to hang it in the front yard.

To live peacefully in a society you have to compromise and you can’t just do as you please. Communities have certain standards and by-laws that should be respected. If you’re compelled then bring it up at the next town meeting and rally support for your cause.

What if someone decides they should park their car on the front lawn since the boat and camper take up the driveway? Or just set a couch up on the front lawn because I like to have a nap there?

You examples sounds reasonable enough? I'm a huge proponent for strict building codes etc, but don't really see the problem with turning your front yard into a parking lot or whatever you'd like as long as it doesn't actually cause harm to the neighbours in the form of stealing sunlight or making lots of noise.

I’m grateful to not be your neighbor.

As long as you and your neighbors all had the same understanding (in writing) before buying the property, that's fine.

It's not something that should be foisted on people after they own their property, since "you're free to move your whole life and family somewhere that allows parking on the lawn (or hanging laundry, etc) if you don't like my new rule" is rarely practical or reasonable.
