One more case of people telling others what they can or can not do with their own land.

QuoteChevy Chase, Md., an upscale suburb of Washington, recently announced a six-month moratorium on home construction to make time to examine how to deal with the proliferation of oversized single-family houses.

Meanwhile, the six-month moratorium on home construction has probably skyrocketed existing home prices.

Everyone who lives there has an interest in their home values skyrocketing.  They may want to keep the moratorium implemented indefinitely.  :o

Only if you don't subscribe to the whole "Live Free or Die" attitude.   ;)

I'd rather be shot in the head 7 times than have my home regulated by the government.

But that's just me.  I'm weird like that.

After the first time I don't think I'd care much about it.   ;D
