I showed your cousin Guy this pic & he is very very upset that you didn't invite him over for the Lamb dinner. Its his favorite. He said (and I quote) "I can't believe my cousin Becky made that!" And didn't invite me for dinner... He's beside himself. Now I suppose I have to make it for him. Hi Becky!

In spite of what we've just gone through (which was fairly tame, all things considered) I'm gonna come out in favor of zoning and permitting. I don't think property ownership is a carte blanche to build whatever a person wants wherever she or he wants it. One only has that right within the confines of local zoning, which forces land owners to consider the impact of the building on the community as a whole. Why am I in favor of this, you ask? Without zoning and the permitting process that enforces it, you get Wal-Marts in historic neighborhoods; you get playgrounds next to adult movie stores; you get McMansions next to farmhouses; you get factories next to swimming pools. Is zoning abused? Yes. Is the process absurd much of the time? Yes. Does it conflict with a person's right to property? I don't think so. You know that thing you learn in 7th grade civics about how my right to swing my fist ends when it reaches another person's face? That's kind of how I see zoning: people have to look at and live with a building and its attendant uses, and that fact has to be considered when you exercise your right to build on your own land.
