One of the few legitimate functions of government is to protect individual property rights. Otherwise you'd have to protect your own property rights by force. MOAR gunz.

When you buy a property you are buying a set of property rights. Part of the value of the property rights you are buying are the mutually applicable limitations which prevent everyone in the same environment from doing things that hurt each other. Like turning your neighborhood into a dirty filthy socialist housing blok without your consent.

I thought you hated regulations? You should be getting behind them, they’re chanting your song!
So naive

Merry Christmas

Hint: read GDaddys post. Also, most developers choose to build more profitable single family homes, when the government is only allowing them to build multi family homes, you’re seeing regulatory handcuffing in action

protecting the individuals property by telling them they have to abide by single family zoning!

that doesn’t really sound like you have much of a choice over YOUR property.

Happy holidays!

If that's what you intended to buy then why would you complain? If you had ever intended to buy a house on a parcel that's zoned for multiple units then you should have done that, instead.

Alternately, if you can persuade your neighbors on the merits of upzoning then there's no "hurting other people's interests " involved.

The whole reason the burbs became the most common form of residential development in the first place was because people wanted more separation from their neighbors, and quieter neighborhoods. They wanted the wider lots with the bigger side setbacks and deeper front setbacks from the street. In other words, they wanted to get away from the high density urban lifestyle.

Merry Christmas!!

That’s not very liberty of you.

Sure!

fact is, youd all be screeching in favor of this but you don’t like the reasoning and source.

(I don’t actually agree with the removal of the zoning requirements, I just love the hypocrisy)

Not sure how you equate that? Zoning prevents unwanted density. Just because you open it to more density, doesn't mean it HAS to be built higher, denser and for more occupants. It just opens up that option to developers. Communities have a say in how that happens, usually.

This stuff happened in coastal South Redondo in the 70's basically overnight with corrupt city councils members/developers. It's how they changed R1 to R3A/RMD zoning density with little to no community oversight. How else do you think all those higher rise/density condos got built right on the bluffs just south of the Redondo pier?

It's one thing for state/federal guv to impose local regulations, and cities/small communities to impose it by local approvals.

This is state imposed on all, not giving locals any choice, what-so-ever, even by vote. This is exact opposite of liberty. It's state/fed enviro-socialism at its finest.

Where’s the fecalizing?

that’s exactly what’s happening. I thought a libertarian would be for abolishing single family zoning requirements.
There’s the fecalizing again. They’re REPLACING single family zoning with multi family zoning and not ALLOWING single family zoning.
