zoning was designed to keep undesirables out, not to set clear ground rules. because that was its goal, we’ve also intentionally let local control laws and appeal rights/systems inflate to act as secondary/tertiary…
i appreciate the thoughtful response, and the fact that it’s rooted in a desire to maintain some element of diversity. i’d play your observation back at you though: there’s more than just young renters and nuclear…
