"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?

This is the most convoluted concept. You do not buy property as a "shared group". When you purchase land it, it is as an individual (if you are buying property for yourself). The notion that the Gov't our "groups of others, looking out for the common good" can dictate what you do with "your" land is foolishness.

With your logic those who find a type of "flower that is going extinct"...or find some shallow holding water (wet lands) on one's property ....they do have the right to have the Gov't come in and tell you what you can and can't do with your property now....

It is your mindset that is allowing the erosion of individual rights and property rights. If you don' think that is moving in the direction of European light.....You haven't been overseas to see how property owners there have virtually NO rights whatsoever Vs the "common good".

Furthermore you must also think it is fine for the Gov't go come in and take one's property if they can find a "better use for it".....under your logic there is nothing wrong with this.

Exactly! Others should not be able to make choices regarding land I own! - They can make all the choices they want with land they own......if they want all the land around them to be a certain way....then buy that land....and "lease" it to others.

But when one buys and owns land in this Country it should be theirs...and no Gov't do-gooder should be telling others how to live on that property (assuming rational behavior here...and not trying to go down a middle school path of suggesting all sorts of obvious illicit actions).

You and Hildy should get married ( I'll bet those would be some mixed up pups).
