Property is the root of all freedoms. I don't own the town I live in, only a single plot within it. That one's mine. So that's all I control. Should such an enterprise move nearby, values will have declined a decade in advance such that I will have moved. Just like changing the channel.

Agreed.

But I thought enterprises like this were victimless??

"...I will have moved."

You'll move because, in a way, you have no choice. Better to decide on a move for other reasons than to feel like you're forced out.

Although I was content in my home, I had thoughts of moving away due to the lifestyle of next-door neighbors. It burned me up that I should have to give up my home to get away from it.

We're still here. Said neighbors, in their 60's, lost their home, the husband sadly died in prison, and his wife is cleaning houses for an income. Such a waste!!

In case you may assume that I describe an area of low-cost housing, I don't. These homes sell quickly and the last I know of went for $329,000.

The suburban areas are not immune to "neighbors" we'd rather not have.

God is the root of all freedoms, so no one has a God-given right to do evil.
