To be clear, the mentality here is now 1 we're regarding as bad, due to worsening floods.

Your so-called "private" stream affects others. Private property isn't actually and shouldn't actually be private; it should be open to modification for the public benefit. The issue is just that governments have previously had wrong ideas as to what the public benefit is.Permalink On twitter.com

This ties in with my views on housing, btw: previously governments have thought that it's been in the public benefit *not* to build new housing, when actually it'd be in the public benefit to *require* the building of housing.Permalink On twitter.com

Thus, I see respecting private property rights as a compromise btwn requiring the bad & requiring the good. If we can't make ppl do the right thing w/their property, we can at least stop making them do the wrong thing, & hope that increases the chances of them doing the right 1.Permalink On twitter.com
