Democracy, I think. Rule of the Many.
I believe you are confusing communism (all property owned by the state) with our democracy (individual rights restricted by elected representatives). We are a nation of laws, and we chose who gets to make and enforce those laws.
"Communist" is a nice, inflammatory term, so I know why you used it. Calling me a "Representative Republican" doesn't have the same ring to it
Yep. Your local zoning ordinances and building codes cover this as well. Your kitchen is inspected when built and during any major remodel. If you make major changes WITHOUT an inspection, then you can be fined and have your work torn out (or the property seized).
BTW: Never said I agree with any of this. I really do feel for the guy. I'm just trying to point out a few things I think a lot of folks miss:
- there is more to this story than some dude living in a trailer
- the media is working us like puppets
- zoning laws aren't about giving some old guy the boot, they are about balancing YOUR rights with your NEIGHBOR'S rights.
- we all elected the folks that put these laws on the books. If we don't like them, look in the mirror first. Zoning committees are usually elected positions, the meetings are open, and area residents are welcome to attend.
Accept we don't live in a democracy. I'm sure you'll be all for democracy when your neighborhood decides your posterior is the appropriate receptacle for their desires. Don't like it, too bad. The majority has ruled so bend over and take it.
This country was founded on the idea of the individual and property rights.
