The key to understanding this, is that, as long as there is nothing damaged, the property owner doesn't lose any value, while the freedom to move around is a huge value.

I certainly can't see this. My little 5 acre obstacle course of a yard is, well, mine. To the extent a day's use of it is taken from me, even if that means nothing more than looking at someone's tent, I am damaged.

In the US we have a legal concept known as "quiet enjoyment" under which land owners and tenants are entitled to the use of their real estate free of nuisance. I think I even remember an instance years ago where a property owner sued to have an ugly billboard adjacent to his property removed.

I guess we just value our property rights here a lot.
