If someone wants to pay less for my house because one of my neighbor's has a pink house they can bugger off.

But that's the problem, though. It wouldn't just be your house. It would be everyone's house on the street/in the neighborhood.

Personally, I don't care if someone wants to paint their house pink. My neighbors might care, though.

And my neighbors shouldn't get a say. If my neighbors want to live in a place where they can dictate how everyone else lives their lives they need to buy a huge plot of land and become a landlord. Otherwise they can get over themselves.

I agree with you. They really need to get over themselves.
