[TowerTalk] city council horror

[DavidC]

"Grandfathering" existing property rights is a tradition as old as this
nation, and preceeded this nation in Europe (and other parts of the world).
 It would seem that any competent judge would insist that a community show
an extreme health and safety reason to break with that tradition and to
invade the private domain of a citizens existing property.  IMHO ...
subject to foolish bureaucrats, apathetic citizens, and incompetent judges.
