What total nonsense. A relaxation of medical marijuana laws seems completely compatible with keeping the dang government out of things is needn't be involved with. And that is what conservatives ought to be about.

Orange County still considers itself conservative, but what Orange County favors is the conservatism of busybodies. OC has land-use regulations that rival Scandinavia. There's a committee that tells you what color you can paint your front door or exactly how long you can let a beach towel dry on your balcony before it becomes a felony.

You are right about some of the master planned communities in south Orange County and developments where neighborhood associations govern like dictators, but the vast majority of suburban Orange County is not subject to such rigid land use regulations.

That would only be so when you willingly purchase a property in such a development, SAME as Arizona, padner.
