Interesting stuff. So would the solution be for...

a)a neighbor's tree that blocks to much sunlight to grow plants
b)a neighbor's plant with an objectable smell
c)a neighbor with an objectable symbol painted on his house.

that neighbor pays you money for the right to block the sunlight. or you pay him to cut his tree down. any kind of bargaining really.

alternately, when the neighborhood was constructed and indvidual lots were sold(they may have to be indefinitely leased in a true AC society, kind of murky there), contracts could have been setup from the get go that the owners of the lots agree in advance to a certain tree policy. so only people that voluntary accept their sunlight being blocked move in. at first glance this seems like a rip off of locke and his social contract theory however this has a critical difference. that difference is that these contracts are actually voluntary, nobody is compelled into conforming to the society norms, people group together and voluntarily accept norms.
