Their “building codes” are better than those who oppose them.
“They may be better off remaining in states that choose to be more accomodating if they don’t want to make a few compromises.”
How would they be better off?
Compromise my ass... why don’t you move?
Because they're probably not going to win in court on their religious liberty argument. If they can convince the state government to grant an exemption to the codes that's another matter, but if they really don't want to compromise can't you see why they might be better off living somewhere they don't have to (say, Pennsylvania or Ohio) than being forced to do so against thir will?
Compromise my ass... why don’t you move?
Because I want to live in NY. I make a bunch of compromises to do so (accepting higher taxes, more expensive housing and products because of their myriad absurd codes, etc.) but I enjoy the city and I'll be making enough to cover the higher costs here. Why would I move?
