Zoning for land control.
RichmondLiberty.org: “East Ashland” to join fray of supercommunities?
The Ashland Town Council may vote tomorrow on a proposed 101-acre development, which will include 200 homes and a shopping mall. Last month’s public hearing drew 100% public opposition. As always, the choice is between the community and a single developer looking to fill his pocket, all he can offer the council is to write a check. Will every unclaimed piece of ground in Virginia have the same fate? How many developers are out there marking up our state?
I don’t see how this site considers itself to be “libertarian” when it is advocating for government (even local ones are bad) to take control of private property and tell the owner what they can and cannot do with it. Someone needs to read the Mises article “Zoning is Theft“
