Your whole argument is flawed because your premise is incorrect- you CAN still build a 2nd floor on your house, and you CAN still build boathouses.
Property rights are a very complicated subject and its not nearly as simple as you convey, "I own the land, I can do whatever I want to it." Courts have decided, time and time again, that this cannot be further from the truth. As the wise Mr. Spock once said, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
