It's not a nonsense comparison. It's a question about whether you believe property rights grant the right to create arbitrary negative externalities or not. Lodging has negative externalities, like other commercial use properties, even if you've never lived next to it to experience it.

Yes, which I agree, as a libertarian, is a theoretical solution to these problems. Only, our judicial systems don’t work so we end up legislating instead, and the only contracts the government likes to enforce are its own.
