On the other, I'm sick of watching more open space in California and elsewhere plowed under for yet more housing and mall development. We need rational land use planning and in its absence we get ridiculous exploitation of technicalities like this.

What we really need is for tyrannical busybodies, who want to impose their aesthetic sensibilities on the community at someone else's expense, to open their own G** D*** wallets and buy the land they want to see preserved. Failing that, they should press for the government to purchase such property at fair market value.

"Rational land use planning" that places the burden of preservation on the backs of individual property owners should be resisted with armed violence.
