And the state and country are happy to leave them hanging indefinitely. property seizure via regulation.
- epistasis 1y agoAs somebody who would like to swim in the San Lorenzo River with my children, I'm not super enthusiastic about allowing them to continue to pollute the river. It may be that the septic regulations are excessive, but oddly I've never heard anybody argue that the regulations are unnecessary, they just argue that they don't want to follow them because they didn't have to in the past. I'd be a bit more sympathetic to the mountain folks if they had an argument that the regulations were incorrect. The real property seizure is what's happening to the public land so that people can live for cheap and not cover their own pollution. People still have the land. Though if they want to try to overturn Euclid v. Amber and make zoning illegal, I'm there to help them! Necessary environmental regulations are not something I want to overturn, however.
- s1artibartfast 1y agoThat is indeed the conflict. IDK if the regulations are unnecessary to maintain a swimmable river either. however, it is undeniable that there was a change in regulation and restriction, even if that is going from a river quality is optional to the priority. Beneficiaries are happy to benefit, and if that takes away powers and property from others, so be it. This is the dynamic that I am highlighting.
