Backlash against Lakeside Castles?

Does society have a right to limit the size of lakeside houses based on aesthetics? Does a person have a right to build any damn size house they want if there is no reasonable evidence (except aesthetic) that their house is harmful?

This Boucher guy seems like someone who craps himself in a public library, then, when asked to leave, cries "hey, they are my pants! You can't regulate aesthetics!".

A larger question should precede questions of private vs. public property: Should we care about the environment we build in? Should that be built in to how we think about things?

Here is for the backlash!
