You mean to tell me that zoning will force my neighbor to build a coop for his chickens?? And I wouldn't be out in the shop right now, discovering chicken s**t on the floor after yesterday's avian adventures? Sign me up!
No, I mean to tell you that zoning will ultimately lead to your neighbor having to pull a zoning permit to construct a chicken coup for their chickens and so they will never build it.
We don't have much to argue about, we have no common premise. I am a strict constructionist and believe the rights of the individual are paramount to the rights of the State. Personal freedom is what this country was started/based on, not the "greater good". Without a common premise, discussion is futile. Zoning ultimately leads to severe harm to personal freedom and elevated laws encouraging "the greater good". This can sound great until it is your Ox being gored.
I just got a new pond, I made it twice because I aint so bright.
