Imagine buying property and then being told what you can or cannot do with it.

How are zoning laws any different from the HOA bullshit?

Zoning laws have their place, especially in cities.

I don't think they are the villain of this story.

If anything, NYC's tradition of member deference, even when that member is a complete moron, is the bigger issue.

If I buy a gun (my property) can I wave it in your face?

No?

Almost like ownership does not mean other people dont exist.

Not the same. A bus depot isn’t like waving a gun.

I agree they are not the same

But you abstracted your argument. So i made it concrete.

Your abstract fails.

Try and make a better abstract argument, see if it works

Dont use bad arguments, that's, well, bad.
