Are you in favor of government regulations telling you what you can do with your private property?

Nope

Generally no. I do understand that when people live in close proximity to one another their rights are going to end up pitted against each other. Cities are no place for roosters, backyards are not good for sacrificing goats. Small parks are not the place for all-night music festivals. . But the kind of laws that get passed in the name of 'good for everyone' are often nothing of the kind.

That depends. Do you think you should be able to dump toxic chemicals on your private property? Do you think you should be able to have a sex club with no sight barriers next to an elementary school? Your question calls for a simple answer to an issue that is not so simple.

Zoning laws have been around for years. I think they often violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Any regulations dealing with private property should be limited to matters of public safety.

Zoning regulations serve a useful purpose, especially in populated areas. What I am upset and worried about where the court has allowed eminent domain to go.

For the most part yes. Who knows what kind of stupid crazy bullsh!t you'll pull if you're allowed to do whatever you want. Let's make a rooster barn next to your house and see if you like government regulations.

I am for the most part when it comes to public health, safety, and neighborhood impact. E.g., I don't think people should be allowed to use their property for a meth lab, a nuclear waste dump, for bomb making, or super-loud all-night parties.
-
well it depends what you are referring to. government laws telling us that we cannnot have methlabs, even on our own private property, yes, my question is what are you referring to?
-
In general, no. I'm all about small government.
-
NO but then there are too many regulations about private property already.
-
