Builder's Remedy goes into effect in many California cities tomorrow
Wow that's great news!The level of bureaucratic creep that has been imposed on property owners is actually unbelievable to me.  I obviously understand some regulations (you can't built a chemical processing plant in a residential neighborhood, obviously), but cities have creeped themselves into all-powerful overseers.Most cities now have the power to tell you what kind of house you can build, how you can paint it, how you can landscape it, what kinds of cars you can keep in your own driveway, what you can do in your leisure time on the property etc.It is insane.I honestly hope there is a property-rights case that abolishes all of this.  If I own the property, then it's mine.  If I want to collect old VW busses and park them in the front yard, I don't care what effect this has on my neighbors property value.  This is my home.  If you don't want to deal with living near other people, move to the country.
