K so I'll buy the houses surrounding yours and build some huge barbwire walls, then on the outside of the walls I'll just paint them with horrific images, just gross stuff that anybody would find disgusting to look at. You spent 1.5mm on that house, and now because it's surrounded with these walls the property value is cut to basically nothing. House appraised as worthless, financial ruin for you.
But hey fuck you right?
>Are you seriously suggesting that someone else should be prevented from living the life they want, the job they want, affordable rent, enough space to raise children, etc. to protect someone else's view? That's an unbelievably fucked up level of dystopian.
Me me me me me.
I want an affordable house, with enough space to raise children, affordable rent, the job that I want and I want to live right next to Breckenridge so I can ski all the time! Oh and I want a short commute, freshly paved roads, bike lanes, HUGE parks, the best schools, and free community events. That's the life I want. So I guess I get to move in and start demanding those things?
Sorry. Life doesn't work that way. Whether it's somebody's view, or the neighborhood they moved in to, you aren't entitled to things like that. Housing will be expensive in desirable areas. You don't get to just move in and complain it's expensive. Move somewhere else or deal with it.
Ridiculous.
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoNeither views nor neighborhoods are considered to be property under real-estate law. Basically, no. Just no. Other people do get to spend their own money on property near yours and use it as they please. That's a free economy. If you don't like it, try some form of central planning. I think feudalism might really suit you.
- muninn_ 9y agoHa! I'm an anarchist. But yes neighborhoods do get to control things like that and they should. Ever wonder why there are no skyscrapers in DC? Ever wonder why there are home owners associations that can dictate what colors and upkeep you do on your property? My example was extreme, but rules and controls exist for a reason. If you don't like it, then don't live there.
- eli_gottlieb 9y ago>Ha! I'm an anarchist. No you're not. You believe in private property in views.
- muninn_ 9y agoYes I am. Want to try again? The fact that I'm critiquing a poor argument has nothing to do with my philosophical views. Just as I could argue a fascist policy would be poor to implement or is inconsistent (or the opposite), I can do the same with liberal democratic property rights. While a view may not be property (and this depends on what laws are written etc...) communities in this system of government regularly create laws and regulations for said communities. It's just a normal thing that happens in democratic societies. Being upset about that doesn't change that fact, nor does it make those communities immoral or unethical or anything like that.
- closeparen 9y agoYou're asserting an entitlement to control property you which is literally titled to not-you. You don't get to call other people entitled. Good day.
- muninn_ 9y agolol I do and will continue to cal people entitled when they act as if they are the only ones entitled to anything. Maybe since none of you are property owners you don't understand. Idk. Neighborhoods form and get to do things like create zoning laws and regulations. Don't like? Don't move there. Period.
