Risks to the Bay Area’s continuation as an engine of growth are risks to the entire country’s economy. Local parochial interests ought not to be allowed to do that.
If we can stretch the Commerce Clause to banning growing and consuming corn or pot that never leaves one person’s plot of land, much less a state, I don’t see why it can’t cover abrogating NIMBY regulations.
- sithadmin 8y agoThe Commerce Clause is traditionally a cudgel for activist judges, and the current court is activist in a way that doesn't really jive with what you're suggesting, nor any sort of collectivist-oriented jurisprudence. You're not wrong (in spirit at least), but it's just not going to happen.
