Sorry, but that's not how things work.

When you buy property somewhere -- you agree to abide by the all of the existing codes and statues of that municipality / jurisdiction. Full stop.

In the case of this guy -- he's no just being an asshole, and guilty of poor taste. He's intentionally violating the law. Because he thinks he knows better.

Thanks for the sixth grade civics run down.

Someone knowing the arbitrary law of primates is just thinking “they know better.” They know it’s illegal! It’s not a divine mandate; it’s projection of non-existent power of their own. They’ll lean on appeals to hallucinated political power!

No one questions the value of the law. What a sad little police state of NIMBY narcissists.

thats unfortunately how it is, ANYTHING can be rationalized when you rationalize theft(so called "taxes") from people. Soon after you begin to think you can decide what other people do since "i pay for it". Along the same levels of logic you also go create insane zoning laws and crap that extends into other peoples property, and is NOT just based on non-harrasment, but more like "you cant paint your house red, only green/blue pastel colors in THIS neighborhood", or "grass is maximum 1 inch long" and such insane shit
