Reread what I wrote. A resident homeowner/renter - that's literally the definition of a town, county, or state constituency. Living there (which only a human can do) grants you special rights to decide how that public property will be utilized, developed, and regulated by voting in representatives.
No that's not how it works. Blocking public sidewalks is illegal (although inconsistently enforced) in almost every city, regardless of who lives there.
