More Zoning

Zoning appears to be the subject of the hour. In this article in the PE we learn how the city of Moreno Valley is attempting to exclude churches from residential and industrial areas. In the post below on Zoning your faithful correspondent attempted to demonstrate how zoning keeps citizens from maximizing the cash potential of their property. Here, the city of Moreno Valley is attempting to limit where can conduct your spiritual practices. I suppose the question is twofold: First, whether you would want 100 churchgoers descending upon your neighbor's home every week. Second, whether people should have the option to invite over friends and family for a weekly devotional? Alas, this is where the law steps in. This article shows lawmaking and how its responsive to the community's needs.
