      Welp, got screwed by the zoning board. 5-0 against me, in favor of the illegal structure. They chose not to enforce clear meaning of their own laws, because those only apply in cases where they want them to. "That's not what 'residence' means." "Actually, your law defines it".

      2/ Them: "when we say 'residence', we mean any structure" Me: "ok, let's go with that definition. Here it says that no new protrusion of the residence may be MORE nonconforming. So if this barn is a residence, then that clause applies, and this is MORE nonconforming" Them: uhh

      3/ Them: "No, the building inspector is allowed to interpret rules. Those are administrative decisions." Me: "I agree. That's why were are at a meeting called 'APPEAL of administrative decision' . I'm appealing it."

      4/ Them: "the setback is 30 feet" Me: "no, the setback must conform to 50 feet AS NEARLY AS POSSIBLE but absolutely must be 30. This does not conform to that." Them: "yeah, but we only phrased it that way back in 1988 to get the law passed."

      5/ Them: "yeah, but if we enforced that, he'd have to move his driveway" Me: "is there some clause I'm missing that says that zoning laws become null and void if they'd force you to move your driveway?"

      6/ Them: "you waited until after work started to do anything." Me: "no, I contacted you BEFORE excavation started." Them: "yeah, but not in writing" Me: "yes, in writing. Building department, the board of selectmen, and town lawyer" Them: "yeah, but not a FORMAL appeal"

      7/ Me: "true. The FORMAL appeal was four days later." Them: "well, he'd already started by then." Me: "the state publishes a manual that this board is supposed to follow. That manual says that a project already having started is NOT a relevant factor" Them: "yeah, but..."

      8/ Me emo is much larger than "an ugly barn". Me emo is "yet another reminder that there really is no such thing as law, text, or dispassionate analysis...there is only tribal loyalty and raw naked power" This is a trivial example, and not so bad...but the CATEGORY is terrible

          10/ I remember being puzzled in high school history when the teachers were explaining that "democracy" was good but "populism" was bad...and I couldn't just swallow the definitions. I wanted to know HOW and WHY. There were no good answers.

          11/ ...and that's because, ACTUALLY, (a) they're the same thing, (b) they're both bad. Ancap legal firms are best. A Moldbugian sovereign maybe second best.

          13/ Back to the meeting: one neighbor said "we all know what this is REALLY about: he doesn't want to look at a steel barn right next to his property" And I was like - is that not EXACTLY WHAT ZONING LAWS ARE ABOUT? IS THAT NOT WHY THESE LAWS WERE PASSED AND THIS BOARD EXISTS?
