Our Founding Fathers are doing nothing of the sort, they gave us the system that allows you the choice of living where there are no regs, and me to make the choice to live where I live.

Wrong. We live in a Limited Republic not a Democracy where majority rules over individual rights.

Private property rights where one of the select few foundations this great Nation was based on.

You do not have the right...nor does / should the Gov't to dictate how others live on their property that they own.

Again, if you want all the areas around your house (within your view) to look a certain way....then you should have to purchase that land. Plain and simple.

The death of individual property rights in this Country is leading us right down the path of becoming European light.

But the "common good" is just so important, isn't it. And by god our Gov't (local / State or federal) surely better not allow my property value to decrease. That is what our Gov't are for.

Sad to see how pathetically grown adults have come to look to Gov't to protect them from anything they don't like anymore.

"Wrong. We live in a Limited Republic not a Democracy where majority rules over individual rights."

Purchasing a home involves a contract, when you enter that contract, you signed agreement to it.

You are not forced to live where you don't like the laws and regulations.

"You do not have the right...nor does / should the Gov't to dictate how others live on their property that they own."

Move into a house with three wives, and brew moonshine for a living...better yet, buy a house in a neighborhood, and turn it into a auto repair shop.

"The death of individual property rights in this Country is leading us right down the path of becoming European light."

More bulls%t.

You can go buy an acre of land on the side of a mountain and live your entire life naked and eating nothing but gooseberries if you want to.

Your problem is with the right of like-minded individuals to regulate their property via a shared contractual agreement.

You want YOUR freedom, but you don't want anyone else to be free to make choices you don't agree with.

How friggin' hypocritical is that?

Or I can enter into a contractual agreement with other like-minded individuals on the way the areas around all our houses will look, and live in a community where only people who will abide by that agreement are allowed to purchase property.

You seem to have a problem with people making choices that you do not agree with.

I'd get help.
