People should be allowed to own land and own homes with yards

They should equally be allowed to own homes without yards. But exclusionary zoning, minimum setback, and maximum lot coverage laws don’t allow that.

Exactly. People love to treat it as “a war on cars/lawns/etc.”, but it’s really a war on everybody who doesn’t want to be legally mandated to have those. All we’re asking for is to end the legal mandates (zoning, parking minimums, setback requirements, etc.) and for those who wish to partake in those wasteful luxuries to pay their true price without public subsidy.

If that’s what you want, the place for that is the country side. But for those of us who want to live with amenities, this shit has got to stop.

There’s plenty of land that isn’t in a city. Go get it.

Yeah, sure, people also have the right to fly private jet, but that doesn’t mean it is a “good” decision.
