Zoning became popular because families did not like to live next to a muffler shop or the neighborhood becoming a crowded slum. If you like looking into your neighbor's window, then I guess setbacks are a hindrance.

I saw that project several times, and in my 35 years of experience in administrating such contracts, the waste is in the HOV lanes- more than doubled the cost and land use. However the government keeps pushing separate HOV lanes despite their waste of space and cost.

It is interesting that the people who pressure hotels to serve cage-free eggs also want to force people to live in stacked fire-trap units in dense cities dependent on government rationed transportation.

These days many dogs seem to have mental problems, not to mention lucrative cancer. Unpredictable, moody, jittery, yet their owner feed them soy, corn, rice, pea, seed oils. Unlike our outdoor carnivore dogs sprinting and eating bones, joints and organs when I was a kid.

My kid got hit from behind by an electric scooter, smashing his face into the sidewalk, and the rider did not stop. These high-speed eMotorcycles and eScooters should have registration, licensing, insurance and traffic enforcement, not run on the sidewalk with pedestrians. That is traffic equity.
