Your "individual liberty" to prevent people from building reasonable amounts of housing on their own land is a pretty shitty liberty that I'm fine with the state trampling. If local control is so important to you then the bluest state in the country is probably not a good fit, Dems generally are not local control maximalists.
- hn_throwaway_99 5y agoI agree with the thrust of your statement, but "Dems generally are not local control maximalists" is true of both parties, who are more than happy to throw their general principles re: local control out the window when a locality passes a law they disagree with. Just ask anyone in a major city in Texas, where it seems like half the laws passed by the state legislature are there to overturn bills passed by the Austin city council.
