Building apartments is not a pox on a community. In fact, the most valuable real estate on the planet has lots of apartments. And are you seriously asking why people may want to live someplace for reasons other than it being an undistinguished suburb? School, weather, jobs, community?

  Views are not protected and neither is zoning. If you want to have the right to exclude apartments from a neighborhood, go ahead and buy all the land. I’d be surprised if single family zoning survived a legal challenge.

School, weather, jobs, community? No. If you look at the comment you are replying to, you’ll see that the question I asked was: > what right do the people who don’t live in his neighborhood but want to have the right to immiserate the people who already live there by building high density blocks?
