I'm personally at the interstice between "the government shouldn't have the right to mandate lot sizes, it creates artificial scarcity and puts a soft floor on property prices" and "tiny, congested lot clusters are really ugly, don't offer much more value than apartment living, and make a poor replacement for the woods bulldozed to make room for them, and could stand to be dis-incentivized".
- Timon3 3y agoCan you explain why you're between those, when you well know that without government intention the latter would, without question, occur? It seems like the earlier is ideological in nature, whereas the latter is actually based on what you want reality to be like.
- Philorandroid 3y agoSorry for the late response. The short answer is because I don't like meddlers, especially not ones with legal authority. Consider that perhaps I want to build my dream home, but my neighbors use the HOA or town council to try and keep me from doing what I want with my property because they think my preferred home style is ugly. In my mind it's the same principle as me wanting to block dense housing because I think it's ugly.
