[quote=briansd1][quote=Jacarandoso][quote=briansd1]Whatever happened to the right of the property owner to develop the land however he wants, and whatever the best economic potential?[/quote]
Wait a minute, are you not Mr. Smart Growth? My density was just zoned down by a full 2 unit lot,and the density allowance has been transferred for “smart growth”. Others had much more taken away in the same fashion. Not only do you not have the right to do what you want, you can even lose the zoning rights you did have.
Also, in reference to something earlier in this thread, everyone knows that sacred ground is for casinos and malls, not quarries.[/quote]
Jacarandoso, sorry about your loss of property right.
BTW, my approach to smart growth would not be limitation on units/acre. It would be to allow more building, teardown and rebuild on already built out areas, and not build the roads that lead to ever more sprawl out.
Not many agree with me, so that’s why we have boring cities that are all developed around the automobile. So we drive to Walmart, to Frys, and to Costco in our SUVs. Then we drive from Costco, across the parking lot, to Ikea. Then we drive again across the parking to Starbucks. Then we drive back home. Such a pleasant lifestyle, isn’t it?[/quote]
Thanks, Brian. I don’t go all in on that lifestyle at all all,The closest suburb to me is Rancho San Diego, we do depend on some of the suburban amenities. The new YMCA there is fantastic. To each his own.
Anyway, good for the people who get to skip the quarry.
