That is untill I got the local barber to scare the county judge into paving a strech in front of our house! Much worse than gravel roads are what we live on, a sand road!

When private property is no longer completely sacrosanct, there are a lot of awesome things that the elite can do with it, on your behalf of course. Sort of like the Supreme Court decision on Eminent Domain. This is obviously a case of public property not private, but for what reason does the government administer public property if not for the use by the private? I would expect at least a big refund on my county taxes for all the money saved not paving my street. Along with some Unicorn steaks and a nice perpetual motion machine.

It was an EXTREMELY draconian ordinance that SEVERELY restricted property rights for rural residents. Not a little. *A LOT* However, it was passed by urban folks that wanted to make sure their Sunday drives in the country stayed as building-free as possible. Not by anyone who's life was affected by it. It lasted a while until thrown out, but not before causing severe financial damage to plenty of innocent folks. Seattle residents (as a whole) couldn't care less. Reminds me of the Critical Areas Ordinance here in King County, WA.
