"In a nutshell, Roberts argued that impacts to property owners must be balanced against the utility of the regulation "in a way that tilts almost every time in the government's favor."
I hate the word utility.
Screw that commie Millsian crap.
I hadn't thought of John Stuart Mill as a commie unitl you mentioned it just now. I suppose there are "dialectical" & even Marxist implications of "utilitarianism."
;^)
After all, aren't "needs" the rough equivalent of "happiness" or in the later ulilitarian's terms: "Utils." ("Utils" were defined as "Units of happiness" or "Units of pleasure," as I recall.)(sp?)
What's commie about utility?
