British Court Orders Man to Demolish His Family's Home

[Furunculus]

I detest the idea of some "green belt" being protected from development. What right does the government have to take control of a person's property by declaring it part of some "green belt" and then forbidding people from building homes because it goes against the idea they have constructed? Why should the owners of the property suffer for this idea, this paper construct?

US population density - 32/km2 - 83/sq mi
England population density - 395/km2 - 1,023/sq mi

that simple. come back and tell me you detest planning laws when the population of the US tops 4.5 billion souls!

Green belts do have some value. Endless city sprawls aren't good for anyone.

Of course, I think what has been done is spiteful. Won't stop the Tories using it as an example to bash Labour's "nanny state" though, despite the fact that it was in a, uh, Tory controlled council.

true.

trolling.
