I suppose you didn't buy the entire town, so you can't preclude your neighbors from wanting their property to appreciate, their lives to become more social, and their environment to change.
- baggy_trough 3y agoThe neighbors collectively agreed to the previous zoning. Now some outside body is forcing that to change.
- tptacek 3y agoOnce upon a time, neighbors also collectively agreed to zone by race and ethnicity, until Buchanan v. Warley in 1917 put an end to that practice and created the minimum-lot-size SFZ proxy system we have today. You can argue persuasively for respecting SFZ, but you probably can't do it from a moral high horse (which is just to say: you can't rest your argument on a moral right).
- singleshot_ 3y agoI’m not sure the implication that those of us who don’t enjoy sharing walls are immoral racists is particularly justified.
- tptacek 3y agoIt's a historical fact. I'm not saying you're a racist. Those zoning ordinances though definitely are.
