They can decide (and who knows who are the deciders) that they find your shubbery to be offensive or if you have a bunch of children and the toys take away from the scenic highway look that they can not be within 80 ft of the road. Not what I call "Live Free or Die" but --
In NH, a scenic road designation is made at the Town level and requires a vote of the Town Meeting. So if you are old enough to vote you should have seen that warrant article when it was up for vote. You and your friend also had a chance to speak against it at the Town Meeting that I'm sure you attended.

That is how democracy works thanks to all those who won our freedom and actually fought for the live free or die principal.
