[Servant of the Nine]

"So, you agree with using land-use zoning to limit property rights. Sounds like hypocrisy."

I want to buy the house next to yours an set it up as a half-way home for sexual deviants and drug addicts.
Will that be OK with you?
I promise that your kids will be fine.
Cross my heart.

Luis, decent people accomplish the exact same thing by Deed Restrictions and Covenants freely entered into between individuals, not by intrusive and inherently corrupt Government Regulation.

That's not the point he was raising.

"Luis, decent people accomplish the exact same thing by Deed Restrictions and Covenants freely entered into between individuals."

Then again, we don't generally need protection from decent people, do we?

You can have all the Deed Restrictions and Covenants you want, but if I decide they mean nothing to me, how do you enforce them?

I buy the house next door to yours, and in violation of any and all covenants set up by decent people, I throw up a huge neon billboard, and open "Porn-O-Rama" for business.

Now what do you do?
