Yeah this is exactly right. In my hometown, we have a beautiful view, but people are always pushing for taller more dense housing, because they say it’s unaffordable. However if they win they will destroy what makes this place great in the first place.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to keep a town smaller and more simple. If the residents were there first and exerted their way into the community they have that right.
I don’t really understand any other argument. There are lots of up and coming cities nowadays, you are free to live there, you are also free to be creative and make more money.
- cuteboy19 5y agoThe counter argument is simple. The right to property is inalienable and absolute. If your neighbours can dictate what you can and cannot build on your own land can you even say that you really own it? The idea that a small cartel of homeowners can just artificially lower supply is anti freedom and anti free market.
- maxerickson 5y agoIt's not absolute at all, it depends entirely on the consent of your neighbors. That's true both in a world of laws and in a world of power.
- cuteboy19 5y agoThen such "neighbours" are welcome to vacate their houses and move to a communist country of their liking, which has no respect for private property. I am sure they will find a lot of commonality in values. Let everyone else enjoy freedom
