Of course we have had zoning for centuries and we have another dozen methods of controlling the "bundle of rights" which constitutes "fee-simple" ownership of lands. To talk like your description is nonsense. In fact it is only when GOVERNMENT suddenly changes the status of your residential neighborhood to commercial to accommodate those who use the STATE as their "handmaiden" should you be concerned with the strip maul or slaughter house next door. Government has always been used for their total power to make such devastating changes. Zoning would certainly protect you in your described situation, but just as likely, zoning would have "suddenly created" the hazard you describe.
Also, I said in my previous post:-----<"The pros and cons of the competing "institutions" of land controls in place in the USA could be discussed endlessly. But whether or not the mission of BFW should be in the middle of political land use IS THE QUESTION.">----------

The extra 5,000 car trips a day on your street won't be a problem for you? Super.And maybe we'll throw in a hog rendering plant on the site for good measure. Cause hogs got to be rendered somewhere, and since you don't mind the truck traffic or stench, and are all in favor of the property owner being able to do whatever he/she pleases on the land, we might as well do it there, where you can be secure in avoiding a "synthetic planned society."ES----- Original Message ----

Subject: [Bikies] Hitting a Nerve?Dear Group,
"Smart Land Use" seems to be rubbing a scab with those who are less
concerned with biking than they are about social planning and control of
society. Why should a bicycle group be engaged at redirecting land uses
into a synthetic "planned society?"Etc.
