O/T: When the HOA prohibits you from flying a rainbow flag, do something more fabulous !!

35. Zoning is out of control and will get worse.

I own 16 acres and I am not allowed to build homes for my children on the property!!! I have an 1100 foot driveway and zoning requires me to build a street to build more homes. Of course there are private driveways with multiple homes all over this community.
When it is time I will sell the property to the first developer who will build a street and a whole bunch of houses. The property is right next to a wooded public park and I know they want my property for open space. They won't get it.

This is America and the amount of control zoning pushes on us is sick. The thing about freedom is everybody gets to have it. The idea of house here, industry here and commercial over there is a good idea. However the idea has been perverted. I used to be involved in local zoning. I got out because of the blatant favoritism and stupid controlling laws that were being passed. It will get worse until Americans say enough and push back. It surprises me how many republicans are so deeply involved with zoning.

What you are saying is that it is ok for communities in freedom loving America to control Architecture. I strongly disagree with that. Some communities dictate what color you paint and how high your grass is. You can't plant wild flowers because they are weeds.

Should the farmer get a permit to harvest their crops? Pa. and every state pass laws at the state level to stop communities from passing restrictive laws controlling farmers. They are called right to farm laws. My trees are not community property and if the community wants to control them they should pay for the maintenance of the trees.

You can park whatever you want across the street. I live in the middle of 16 acres and I did that for a reason. What you think is ugly is another persons treasure. That is freedom.
