Your "right to peace/privacy" is a quaint notion.
Helicopters should be "mandatory disclosure" (as some Realtors already do with the coqui), but that probably won't change unless/until someone (probably in HPP) has the time/money to sue -- at which point no judge will dare to rule against the "almighty tourist cash flow".
If the subdivisions are really "private", they should be given jurisdiction over their airspace (to 1500'), and the power/authority to bill the tour operators -- just think of the "private" road maintenance your subdivision could afford with a $25/flight surcharge.
