11/ I've got a friend who owns a few acres of land. He started with 10 or 15 rights to it, found out that there's natural gas under it, and peeled off one of those rights ("right to drill for gas") and sold it to an oil company. So: we've established, I think, that

22/ ...and your property rights were violated. BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE A LIBERTARIAN, you say "the government is good, I love the government, anything the government does is wonderful, THIS IS FINE". yes?

23/ So, in my case, I purchased this farm 6 years ago. I read the zoning law, start to finish, 7 years ago - before I made a purchase offer on the farm. I learned at that point in time that the bundle of property I was bidding on included:

24/ * 12 acres of pasture * 40 acres of forest * 1 house * 1 barn * 1 pond * the guarantee that no buildings would be built within 30 feet of my land or within 50 feet of the road * MINUS the right to build within 30 feet of MY property line and that's what I purchased.

25/ But then a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL decided to remove one of those pieces of property from me, without due process (5A, 14A violation) and without just compensation (5A violation). And your argument is: as a libertarian, I should ignore this.

27/ I'm not sure what a "personally written contract" means. Explain, please? I do, in fact, have a contract with the town. That contract is the zoning code plus the state laws that insists that it be applied correctly and with due process. https://twitter.com/EricChr15868637/status/1216867689274265600 …

29/ It's not a "Home Depot do-it-yourself shed". It's a ~25 foot tall, 2,500 square foot ground footprint, up to 5,000 square foot internal layout (bc 2nd floor) industrial steel building located 18' feet off my property line. https://twitter.com/EricChr15868637/status/1216865588427087873 …

@EricChr15868637 so you seem to suggest that inconvenience don't real, but quantifiable cash damages do, yes? So if the government violates the law and causes a decline in property values, is that a taking? https://twitter.com/EricChr15868637/status/1216870130703126528 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -
32/ Exactly. Many software engineers never grasp pointers, or meta programming. Many libertarians never grasp Kegan levels beyond 2, or stable markets, or any property more abstract than a toothbrush or a gold coin.https://twitter.com/JasonTrippet/status/1216872128982609920 …

33/ Did the vegan sue her neighbor? Or did the vegan sue the town? Was the vegan suing a government employee for violating the law?

36/ Why is "farm" in scare quotes here,
@EricChr15868637 ? It's a hobby farm, yes, but it's a farm. I raise almost all of my own meat, butcher my own pigs, make pies from the fruit from my orchard, etc. How much of your meat do you raise? https://twitter.com/EricChr15868637/status/1217003745533448192 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -

40/ 1) concur, software engineering is my main source of income. Followed by writing. Farming is a hobby, as I've said many times. 2) fines for illegal construction are $275/day until it's torn down http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/LXIV/676/676-17.htm … https://twitter.com/EricChr15868637/status/1217205168598634497 …

41/ but the rule that says that the courts can force a building to be torn down is not RSA 676:17, but RSA 676:15, here http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/LXIV/676/676-15.htm …
