2nd order effects.
One moment you allow multiple unrelated people to share a house.
Next moment they're living 5 to a room and there are 8 cars parked in their front yard.
My peeve is about banning of growing food in your front yard in many states. So much available land going waste growing grass (that is not even fed to cows).
- pavel_lishin 1y agoOne moment you allow growing food in your front yard. Next moment, you've got a rat infestation living 5 to a burrow and 8 of them are moving into your house. My pet peeve is yet some other thing that might have downsides.
- plasticchris 1y agoEveryone has a different peeve, and they all conflict. That’s why population density correlates with regulation.
- bluGill 1y agoregulation itself is fine. However the details matter and all too often the regulation is in the wrong place. Writing good regulations is hard. There are always unintended concequences, and most are not even willing to ask what they might be much less debate if we can/should accept them.
- bombcar 1y agoThat's the real underlying current in all this - most people just don't give a shit one way or the other, so nothing much is going to move. Which is why it's easy to get everyone together and ban backyard chickens because the whole town is sick of Bob's fucking rooster - but much harder to get them to unban them decades later.

- wat10000 1y agoThe absolute horror of people using their private property the way they wish without doing you any harm.
- JoshTriplett 1y ago> Next moment they're living 5 to a room and there are 8 cars parked in their front yard. So? Not your yard, not your business.
- deadbabe 1y agoAesthetics matter. You grow food in the front yards, pretty soon front yards will look like shit, then the homes look like shit, and then your life feels like shit.
- erfgerfgwertg 1y agoI think you hate dogs! Front yards were always a dog toilets, and were always full of shit!
- wat10000 1y agoEvery time I see a farm I think, this is so ugly, it would be so much nicer to look at if it were a suburb with manicured laws instead.
- bell-cot 1y agoStraw man. You could easily use fire codes, noise ordinances, and other basic measures to rule out the real problems.

Is it on their property? If so not my problem. Having principals and sticking to them makes reasoning about the subjects so easy.
