I guess I don't understand the distinction or how the second one isn't a positive right. By your own rule of thumb, if you take away other people then the right to tell others what they can/can't build disappears.
> Also the former does not exist in reality
Irrelevant, we're discussing how things should work not how they are.
- pandaman 4y agoWho prevents you from telling anything if others don't exist? But I did not think you mean it literally, to be honest, I thought you meant allowing/disallowing construction in one's neighborhood. If other people did not exist you could just as easily allow and disallow construction, could not you?
- jallen_dot_dev 4y agoNo? If other people didn't exist then there is nothing to disallow. We are talking about how people will go to meetings to try to veto building proposals.
- pandaman 4y agoI am not sure I understand. In your view, if I live in the middle of nowhere, with no people around me, then I don't have the right to disallow people into my home because nobody is coming? How is it different from me living in the center of NYC and not allowing people into my home, the result is the same - people are not coming into my home, are they?
- jallen_dot_dev 4y agoIn your middle of nowhere example, you didn't disallow anyone anything. This is really such a silly and pointless thread.
