Ha ha ha, the peanut gallery has dragged down another thread. Whychange?
You mean those of us who refuse to chime in with Hosanna every time one of the inumerable "o god the government did this" thread pops up.
In fact, in the early 1990's, a man who owned property within the city limits of Pleasanton, CA applied for a building permit to construct a home, and was denied the permit. His property was high on the ridge line that separates Pleasanton from Hayward approximately, viewable from Interstate 680 just south of the 580 intersection for those that live in the area. Even though he'd owned the property long before the current zoning ordinances were in place, prohibiting construction on the ridge top, he lost his court case against the city. Grandfathered in? Nope, we don't care when you bought the property, we like a ridge line without evidence of humans visible, so no new homes up there. His property became nearly worthless overnight, and the city refused to compensate him for what was clearly an illegal taking.
Source please...and I trust it will be a real source, not one of the usual agenda driven blogs.
