They mandated separation of the good people from the bad. It was black and white. It is a little more gray here in progressive Wisconsin with the building codes that stop the poor from building affordable and alternative housing and without a damn mortgage or government subsidy. <br /> Zoning laws protect property values of the middle class. The hell with the lower class. Minimum size of house depends on the zone. Houses must be comparable in value within a certain distance. This is not to protect the house of lesser value. This is overkill since the poor would not be able to afford housing near the insecure middle class anyway. <br />Ernest Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288465285410752606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431626075970716650.post-69182584099786397992015-02-20T08:13:07.946-06:002015-02-20T08:13:07.946-06:00Mr. Martinson,

County zoning and state building codes have become a regulatory nightmare for anyone not part of the good old boy’s network, for anyone not fitting in with the crowd. In the South during the fight for civil rights, that was called segregation. It is much more subtle up here among the educated middle class. I suspect this is a part of the resentment some people have for those against the CAFO. They fear they may be the next target of the regulatory ban.
