Many of us totally agree with you. This should be left up to the private business owner and his patrons.
I bet a lot of people today hesitate before buying property. What with imminent domain and the City Councils going in to tell them how to run it. Totally asinine.
Yes, nowadays property buying is either done by idiots, by people who are part of city counsils because they rent on a mass scale, or by people who buy, sell or mortgage loans on the property price bubble.
Property buying in the traditional sense is dead.
