they aren't trying to sell their neighbors houses, so why should they care? let them decorate how they like

And the fact that they don't care is why the town has to get involved. If they were reasonable people, it would have been unnecessary.

Getting nostalgic?

For a time when criticizing racism actually meant criticizing racism? Yeah, a little bit. But at the same time it's a sign of how much society has changed that there's no longer enough racism to fight that many people have to try to find or invent trivial matters to offend them. The bigger is just it's become a blanket criticism for ANY interaction between a POC and a non-POC, which is both an issue on a slander/libel level where there's potential harm as well as on a cry-wolf level where actual racism is more likely to be ignored.

Why are her neighbours' property values her responsibility? Provided she's not actually endangering anyone (which she isn't) and is following the zoning laws and all relevant building codes, who is the city to dictate what she does with her own property?

Because fucking over your neighborhood is a dick move?
