When you buy property you accept that the community might change zoning rules. That's the de-facto social contract. There's no rugpull; if you didn't understand this when you made the purchase, you made a mistake.
- ndriscoll 3y agoAny society can change the rules at any time. We could go back to don't-ask-don't-tell with a future government, screwing over all of the openly gay service members. Or a future government could repeal the fifth amendment (or expand "civil forfeiture" i.e. theft). Society changing the rules is pulling the rug. It's not like there's somewhere you can go where the rules can't be changed to avoid that risk. The best you can do is... try to minimize how much society is around you so you can be more selective about who you do live around and hope they'll share your values. i.e. avoid density. And stay out of California since they'll make statewide changes to solve city problems.
