                                                            I'm guessing that's @rgboehm, although it doesn't look like that account has been kept up-to-date?

                                                        This bill would just apply to SB2 towns, and I live in a city, so... well, I'll defer to my colleagues who live in towns for what to think of HB1070

                      To clarify why there is overlap between me and libertarians on this issue, despite me generally opposing libertarians: I believe governments should require good things of people, and should not require bad things of people. Parking requirements are bad.
