That's the point, isn't it? Freedom of choice! AFAIK we are free to live where we choose, with whatever restrictions we feel improve the quality of our lives. I just don't see how this concept could be controversial.
I agree with you that choice is great. That doesn’t mean some people’s choices don’t eventually start to affect others long term. The “concern” comes in that the more people choose the restrictions, get used to them, raise children under same, convince others, etc., the more it becomes the new normal. It’s called incrementalism. If it just stayed within the groups of those who choose it that would be one thing but it also spills over into city & county regulations and other laws more generally which does affect the “leave me alone” types.
In other words, people can respect your choice but still think it can become a dangerous slippery slope to head down. When you leap from “don’t park your RV” directly to “you’re not in a free country” it sounds completely ridiculous (i.e. tin foil hat) but the little baby steps in that direction is what some are concerned and so vocal about (i.e. boil the frog slowly).
