I seem to be hitting on a theme today.

The City of Winston-Salem is considering an ordinance for residential development that would be tougher than the city’s existing zoning ordinance.

Note the comment from alert reader John G:

Planning committees. Who else had planning committees? Oh yeah, the Soviets. They loved them. In a country that prides itself on being the ‘land of the free’ you would think you could do what you want with your property. But you cant. Whatever you do must be approved by the state. Of course who really owns the property when you have to pay the state rent in the for of tax every year.
