    Guilty without trial. Plus the bullycrats charge thousands of dollars for zoning issues, then they tell you to get lost and keep the money for themselves.

    Clearly. There is a secret room in Washington where they all sit around with fat cigars and discuss the New Zoning World Order. :shock:

    ^This. I actually support a number of libertarian ideas but you get a few thousand people smashed together many of whom own property and you have to lay down some rules for how things are going to go.

    Obviously there are some dumb government laws but all we seem to see on this forum is thread after thread of people posting ONE short news story that leaves out tons of details and then a thread full of people saying this person or that person should be burned at the stake. C'mon people. Any time I read a news story I accept the possibility I'm not getting the whole story.

    Really folks if they let this woman slide what's next? If someone opens a titty bar two houses down and the city tries to shut them down get ready for an equal protection lawsuit. It's just that simple.

    So how many here have read the zoning ordinance for Chester? How many here are privy to the whole story?

    I thought this was about a woman being told she had to stop feeding children but I see it is not about the thread it is about winning some victory. It is not about helping the children it is about dick size.

    Though I think the second part of your post is sarcasm, I agree completely with the first--zoning laws exist for a reason. Without zoning, your neighbor could tear down his house and put in a 7-11 right next door... open 24 hours... with a porn studio in the basement... and a open-air dance club in the parking lot.

    There are numerous reasons we zone our communities... and most people like the fact that they know when they buy a house, their neighbor will not be able to open a hair salon next door.

    This is a lie perpetrated by lovers of Communism and the rule of brute force.

    Under genuine American Law, one is not allowed to be a nuisance to his neighbor, and a nuisance is determined by a jury of the accused's peers, not by a rigged jury or by a bunch of greedy Communist commissars.

    If the officials want to be useful instead of just a stack of obstructions, obstacles, hinderances, frustrations and a multiplicity of hazards to human life, then they should help smooth over disputes among neighbors.

    Secret accusations to bureaucrats is not an American Value.

    In the real America, your accusers have to meet you face to face.

    Sure. Go to the City Council and petition for a variance. So so simple.

    This is where we ask ourselves why the state doesn't support non-profit organizations like this one. If you think about it all there is a fine line between abiding by rules and regulations and abusing your power, yes there may have been more to this than meets the eye, but it sure seems like the people that shut her down don't have any reason to keep the area very enjoyable to be which in turn is going to risk their own jobs. Honestly helping her out would have been laif on the table first then you could of looked at the pros and cons, but nooooooo that's to compassionate for the government they have to have their input on everything and figure out a certain way to butt their way into things without asking then backing themselves up with regulations that weren't intentionally put in place for issues like this in the first place. Point is, we can all turn the other cheek to big things going on like crime, and the slow destruction of the communities like this, but the government doesn't always turn the other cheek when they see a positive idea come to life in front of their eyes and it breaks two or three rules. This needs to change in order to change this world we can't be pushed toward the negative side of life by the law that's when more problem arise.

    The above is another delusion in support of our love of the First Plank of the Communist Manifesto, and contrary to what America is really about.

    Well, Zo, look around you... quite a few "adult humans" are acting like children--heck you need look mo further than right here in this thread...

    "These laws" are basic city codes that exist in every incorporated community in the country. Don't like zoning laws? Move to the country... make all the noise you want... feed all the kids you want... have all the junk cars you can find...

    10% of our regulations are valuable (clean water, clean air, livestock crowding), the rest of the 90% benefits someone other than the intended recipients. Allow people to make some mistakes. We can't save the world from stupidity even with full body padded suits, so why prevent the normal flow of human interaction with onerous regulations?

    Freedom tastes better than regulation.[/QUOTE]

    It is not "So so simple." In the real America you don't need to get permission from Communist Commissar to do good things.

    In Communist USA you have to pay thousands of dollars to the zoning commissars for permission to breath, and if they say NO! they keep the money for themselves.

    If you love zoning, you love racketeering and oppression.

    Well that is not the case some of us like our property values. Where I live (county at the end of the road next to a pond or three) we have rules and if you do not like them you cam move or face legal action.

    They've been doing that for 30 years. But this is not what we're talking about now is it?

    This same "onerous regulation" prevents your neighbor from opening his own porn studio next door...

    Well, most people who live in communities value some quality of life. You have neighbors--and what you do effects them. It effects their quality of life. So, yes, we do have to give up a little freedom to insure domestic tranquility. Don't want to have to worry about having to bother the neighbors? Move to the country where you won't have any... hence no zoning laws.

    Hey!

    While we're abolishing everything, let's do away with those pesky leash laws too!

    That way every half starved hound (I'm especially fond of the ones they call pitbulls) in the neighborhood can freely roam and terrorize the streets! Who knows... they just might attack and gobble up those poor hungry little kids while they're scampering to get their free sandwich!

    No more problem for anyone!!

    And don't complain when Jethro has three or four old Buick cars jacked up on cinder blocks in the front yard! besides, soon enough the grass and weeds will grow tall enough to hide most of it.

    Zoning laws have been around as long as cities have. If you are going to live in proximity to your fellow citizens you each need to acknowledge that what you do effects them. Do you really want Larry Flynt to open the next Hustler Club next to your local elementary school? Because that's what you're arguing here lest we throw off the yoke of "government oppression" and refuse to lick the boots of the statist thugs.

    No. Due process is, though. Try to keep up.
