    I mean mixed use buildings still have to be approved by the city and meet building codes.

    Is “it’s your land, do what you want with it” a thing anywhere at all? Afaik the land usually belongs to the government and even if sold it’s not really sold sold, otherwise one could buy some land and declare independence which is kind of not possible

      I mean… You can declare it…

      Doesn’t mean much unless you have the ability to back up that declaration.

      Ownership over something doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want with it legally. You wouldn’t argue you don’t “actually own” a knife because you’re not allowed to stab people with it.

        Well, I would say that this is a very controversial area of what exactly are you not allowed to do with things you really own. I consider everything that doesn’t harm other people to be allowed, others may view it differently. In some places you’re not allowed to stab yourself with a knife you own (or rent, or stole, for that matter), that just means that besides owning there are many things to comply to, but all of them contradict the “do what you want”

    Oh man all the party poopers in the comments. These memes are funny instead of the usual preachy content - doesn’t matter if its slightly inaccurate

    This makes it seem like a single, central government is responsible for the restrictive, local zoning laws. Does the federal government force cities, counties, and municipalities to adopt certain, specific zoning laws?

    Patriotism and “freedom” as expressed by Americans are concepts used to manipulate you and make you do things that are in other people’s interests, not yours. Here you are trying to steal some of the magic by cargo cultishly invoking the concepts, but I think you know it doesn’t work like that. In any case, it’s very cynical, both of you, and of those you are trying to ape.
