I think the libertarians are worried that their next door neighbor will drag in a trailer. Ideals are one thing, property values are another.

Around here we have a lot of open space advocates that don't want any development (even though we are losing population and in a generation won't be able to fund our schools). I've often wanted to ask one of those folks (normally older with a nice older home) if they are so invested in open space why don't they knock down their house?

You kid, but redevelopment of less productive buildings is a pretty important part of preserving open space.
