So Much for 'When in Rome'

Let’s Quit Fetishizing the Single-Family Home [More]
Why does it not surprise me to learn Farhad here is an immigrant whose family came here because our way offered superior advantages to where they came from and a Cornell graduate to boot?

What is with these people? Not satisfied with making their own personal choices, they want to foist their version of utopia on everyone. Hint: Not everyone has the same idea of utopia. What an utter moron.

"Why — when the case for some better way of living has become so painfully obvious..."

Yeah; the better way of living your parents envisioned when they moved out of the slum they lived in, came to the Untied States, and bought a SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE!

Another one of these people who grow up with everything and think living with less is GREAT! This guy obviously NEVER lived in an apartment... What a BUFFOON!

The Left Wing: "Ideas so good, we MUST make them mandatory."

Something is really strange when the New York times has a more libertarian position than the waronguns. Zoning laws suck. They destroy cities. I am blessed to live in a rural area where almost everyone violates them and the county only enforces them when a neighbor complains. There would be a lot less homeless people if the government was less restrictive on zoning. Inner cities would be safer if people could live in their businesses.

Have another drink if you think that's what I'm focused on. As for "libertarian positions," perhaps you can be the one to finally answer the challenge.

DE: I rejected your reply comment. You don't get to ignore my specific challenge questions and start making new points to redirect away from it-- that's not the way it works. Answer my questions first or you're just wasting time I don't choose to spend on you.

You won't because you can't.

Do it again and you're ignored from here on in. Up to you.

Hey genius, what do you think will happen when your "libertarian" immigration policies jack up the US population to 1 billion, 3 times the current density? You won't live in a rural area anymore. You're going to be blessed with zoning laws, neighbors, meddlers, complaints, inspectors and all sorts of other controls up your ass, including gun controls. Unfortunately, the rest of us will also get the same government you libertards deserve.

Delusional "Libertarians" think they can jam people in on top of each other but they won't end up controlling each other.

Zoning is nothing new. Zoning and other controls increase exponentially with population density. What's new that correlates with the homeless problem is the massive surge in immigration/invasion-driven population density since the 1965 immigration act and especially since Reagan's & subsequent amnesties. *Your* immigration policies are primarily responsible for the homeless problem, jacking up land, real estate and "housing" costs. It's also no accident California communists are now aping "libertarian" rhetoric, overriding local zoning laws so they can force everyone into politically correct Stack & Pack "housing".

You did this.

True Believer "Libertarians" are far more dangerous to American liberty than Democrats, socialists and communists. They imagine themselves to be pro-American and super-intelligent, but are utterly incapable of seeing massive empirical evidence contrary to their dogma. They believe that borders and immigration limits are racist and should be abolished, which makes them de facto socialists and globalists. They can't honestly take the pledge of allegiance, let alone the oath of office, though most of them are too brainwashed and drug-addled to know it. Yet they operate freely in the Republican/conservative tent, which makes them the most dangerous enemy within.

He replied. Twice. He refused to address the specifics of my challenge but just said he and libertarians agree with me as long as there is still welfare but then we should have open borders. Since my condition for spending any more time on him was that he unequivocally answer the challenge and since he did not, I am under no obligation to let him continue taking up time better spent on my own pursuits.
