That clears things up. You want to use the cudgel of the state's power regarding zoning issues to address ventures which you find morally objectionable in some way.

Other than your sanctimonious tone, did you have a point?

And your sanctimonious attitude is wrong. This isn't about morality. It's literally about economic devastation being caused by VC's using the violence of the state to eminent domain houses to make right away for power lines, inctease power prices, etc.

Of course, you don't believe corporate socialism is wrong, you just call it free market capitalism. Well go read Rothbard.

I don't know why you want to argue about this here. Your proposed solution elsewhere of "How about an across the board $1/W hook up fee for new customers?" agrees with what I'm saying about having a neutral policy to handle new customers who impose externalities.
