21/ I have no evidence that zoning laws have been held unconstitutional. Maybe this is not the opinion of Dave's Sandwich Shack, Truck Rental, and Legal Opinions, but that's ok. https://twitter.com/KekistanAntifa1/status/1256644411305463808?s=19 …

32/ Perhaps never more complicated than in Medieval Europe. It was exceedingly rare for a man to own 20 acres, everything on those 20 acres, and nothing off those 20 acres. Instead, the norm was overlapping sets of claims. One family's land might include:

33/ - These 20 acres - and also a seasonal right to pick berries on the adjacent 5 acres ... but not more than 1 bushel per member of family - one share in the fish harvested from the stream - firewood from the adjacent forest, but only 1 cord per year

34/ ...but the right to the 20 acres is complicated by the fact that of every 20 bushels of wheat harvested from it, 2 bushels must go to support the local convent, and 1 bushel to the poor house

35/ ...and speaking of the poor, the widows of the town have the right to glean the fields after harvest, so while I can grow wheat on my land, and harvest it, I can't do TOO GOOD A JOB at harvesting it

36/ Also, as the land fronts the road, there is a levy where 5 days of labor per year must be spent maintaining the road. Additionally, attached to the land is the right to have a market stall thrive per year in the local village...but the stall can't be more than 10' tall

37/ ...lest it cast shadow on the adjacent stalls. Guys, ROMAN CITIES has zoning laws, specifying maximum heights, limitations on use, etc. If you object to zoning setbacks as a 20th century prog innovation ... you're not nearly as "trad" as you think you are.

39/ sure, sure, you can have an ideal where all rights are bundled together and not unbundled ... but that implicitly depends on either people choosing the way you want them to, or forbidding trade. Which is bad. Trade increases utility.

lol DW took a year of law school. I occasionally sat in on her classes (profs didn't mind) and read some of her cases, just for fun. It was entertaining and eye-opening.
