"If Mr. Rognlie wants to eliminate zoning, I say “Fine.” In fact, Mr. Rognlie’s next door neighbor wants to build a men’s sex offender work release/toxic waste recycling center on his property."

Government work release programs are only conducted in cities, where big employers hire others. Big ranching is winding down quickly right now in rural areas and being replaced by small farming operations due to attacks on ranchers by environmentalists/infighting/NIMBYs. Fences are starting to go up now.

So keep the zoning ordinances in cities. Zoning against property rights and small manufacturing in rural counties is about to go away. That's the topic. And folks who don't want to see what they consider to be eyesores in the country may buy larger properties in order to afford such a condition instead of conspiring with local governments to prohibit uses of properties belonging to others.

I’ve found that I need a larger lot to be able to enjoy my neighbors.
