I wonder who owns property in the half of town that is not restricted and then compare it to the list of people who are behind the effort to take away the property rights of others.
Strikes me as being suspect, just like the fact that members of the Sierra Club are much more likely to have red wood decks than the average person. Then there was the president of the local chapter of the Sierra Club in the Spokane, WA, area many years ago who illegaly logged 20 acres of his own property but saw nothing wrong with that. Like all liberals, their rules only apply to others.
Maybe you (Af) ought to visit the county records and do a little digging.
There is more truth than you think to the eco-terrorists position. I recall seeing a story about a luxury retreat built in one of the western preserves that had been made off-limits to Citizens; seems you could only get there by helicopter, and they used it as a 'premium' to award their backers.
