You need to lay off of that stuff that makes you post BS like this:

"As usual, the author is missing an important point. The "developer" he's referring to is almost never a private citizen, it's almost always a corporation or other artificial entity whieh by nature, exists and does business at the pleasure of the people and by extension, their government."

Many of the so called evil developers on the West Coast are individuals or partnerships of individuals.

When they try to do anything with the property that they bought, the Natter Nannies like you are all over them with all of the Watermelon Jihadist Phoney reasons of why they can't do anything with their own land.

Last, but not least if a corporation owns the land or has a long term lease on and wants to build something that is not a danger to the public, meets codes and would provide employment to those in the areas, they should be allowed to do so as long as they don't demand our tax $'s to help them pay for something like sports complexes.

"...if a corporation owns the land or has a long term lease on and wants to build something..."

NO COTTON PICKIN WAY, GRAMPA!!!

They'd be liable to makin a PROFIT!!! To these people, that's morally equivalent to "ILLGOTTEN GAINS!"

Just look what happened to the great CA bridge builder, C.C. Myers! He's consistently built bridges for CA in record time and way under budget every time, yet the voters of Sacramento County voted down his right to build a development for senior citizens on the Amador/Sacramento county line!

Now his property is owned by a Land Trust/Conservancy through the purchasing power of taxpayers funds!!!

Too bad his latest project in your "community" got "jacked around" till it fell down yesterday!!!

Dude, you don't know me and you obviously don't know where I'm coming from. It would also appear that you didn't take much care in reading what I've already posted. In light of that, I won't rip you a new one for going off on me based on a bunch of assumptions about my position - even though you've tempted me. All I can say is that you might consider making a better effort at determining exactly what position somebody holds before you launch a volley of wild accusations and mis-characterizations. If, on the other hand, I'm wrong about you and your comments to me weren't simply an error in target identification, I don't get paid to teach at FR so I'm outta here.

SierraWasp seems to get it, maybe you should ask him about it.
