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?

Living peacefully in society is fundamentally at odds with the position you're advocating for, which is enforced slavery to a particular technological innovation.

People can survive without a couch on their lawn, and there are alternatives to couches on lawns that don't require the use of a particular technology. But people need dry clothes, and the only alternative to air drying is to use a particular kind of machine. It's some Black Mirror shit.

Yeah people should be able to have bon fires on their front lawn to cook the animal carcass they have hanging in the front yard tree because they shouldn't be enslaved by fridges and stoves.

They should be able to bath themselves in the front yard by pouring water from they collected from a nearby creek over themselves because showers are slavery.

It's ok for people to tan animal hides in their front yard because the clothing store requires transportation which is just slavery.

I'm going to have torches inside and out because light bulbs enslave me.

I'm thinking about joining an Amish community because the machines I own have ended up owning me.

Actually, yes, in the absence of hurting other people, people should generally be free to do what they like on their own property, even if other people don't like it.

And yes, forcing other people to do or not-do what you want, by force of law and without regard for their own agency, is incompatible with freedom.
