Sounds to me like he is planning to use a property zoned as residential for commercial/political purposes. I wonder if he will need a zoning change for this? Sounds like he may have a tough time getting that past the citizens and the local zoning board. How about a hefty fine every day that he uses the property for such purposes other than its residential zoning status allows.

I was thinking it sounded like a tax sheltered summer home. Create a non profit org and buy a house with tax free money.

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

You're right, zoning is the towns best bet. It's not a multi-family dwelling, not zoned for a church, not zoned for a business. If the town gets busy real quick, the guy may find he only has a house.

How does he plan on getting permits to build all that stuff he has in mind?

Sounds like you should write the mayor.

(last I checked, Texas doesn't do zoning... other forms of legal community control are used. I'm sure they will be in this case as well.)
