[QUOTE="EE95_curse EMAG!, post: 922487, member: 4295"] Okay, I did learn quite a bit. Thanks Tom. I like to see low regulations and court system that protects rights. I am not sure how I feel about the ease of granting zoning so easily though. I'd like to see counties and cities set aside chunks of land every so many miles for a sizeable park/green area. I'd love to see mandated lot sizes and that streets must be so many feet wider than most are today. I visit my Uncle in Ohio and their subdivision roads are the equivalent of three lanes, not too narrow ones. Even if a car parks on the side of the road, there is still room for two way traffic. I am most frustrated by my garage than isn't big enough for a mid size sedan and driveways that are not long enough to fit two cars/trucks (thus so many parking on the road). I did not choose this house, I bought it from my brother (solid deal). The traffic is frustrating. Lights every 200-500 feet. I can take 20 minutes to go 5 miles. All that goes back to overbuilding and density without the proper infrastructure. If there is a way to lend more voices to this, let me know. I am not sure what government agency or representative I would need to poke. I'll start with a letter to my state rep and see if I can get anything other than a canned reply. [/QUOTE]
