"Pro. People should have the right to live pretty much wherever they want."
Problem is that most people who think like you do don't want to pay the true cost of the roads to their houses, the water and sewer connections, the increased police costs, etc.

I'd much rather pay that than be told where I have to live and how big my car is and how big my toilet tank is and whether or not i can plant a garden and what kind of shrubs i can have on my property and how much of my property is "critical habitat" and whether or not my property is in a "viewshed."

I guess that "most people that think like I do" are pretty stoopid, huh?

Here's another coupla questions for you Einstein: Will the pro-"Smart Growth" people pay the property owners for the uses they exproprate due to new regulations?

If not, why not, and how can you justify taking someone else's property without paying for it (which is what Smart growth does)?
