Yes, just like with the 2nd Amendment and pretty much everything else.
Authoritarian high modernism. Believe it or not.
One thing that always makes me smile is people who claim the government is protecting their property values by controlling their neighbors. Why would the government want to do that?
I read something interesting about it in my book. It seems a choice was made here to force compliance for some reason. He hasn’t explained why yet, he may not know. He compared to some other country, Sweden maybe, where the choice was to be more supportive than authoritarian.
You have the right to apply to open a business in your house or on your property. Your local government has the right to say nope. Don’t like it? Then change the local government.
Absolutely correct. This is not a matter of what authority is given to the government by the constitution, as it would (or should) be if we were talking about the federal government. It is about a right retained by the state. As far as a nationwide issue goes, what constitutional right or authority blocks the state from having zoning power? If there is no such article in the constitution, we are talking about an issue each state must decide for itself.
