re: #439 WindUpBird

if what they want is unconstitutional?

Yes, that is exactly correct. that is precisely correct. A neighborhood does not get to do anything they want to a minority, even if they all agree.

you don’t seem to get this, and I don’t understand why, you’ve been plainly shown all the resources you need by SpaceJesus, and you just continue to assert things that aren’t true.

That’s is just it, it ISN’T unconstitutional to not want a religious facility next door. Spacejesus doesn’t know what he’s talking about. All you have to do is a short google search and you’ll find dozens and dozens of similiar situations where the community didn’t want a church in their area and even though it was permitted by codes and commissions they didn’t get built.

New Church:

The Coweta County Planning Department recommended approval of the request.

Denied anyway.

Church Renovations:

Church denied special use permits:
Church sues city of Muskegon over denied permit

The planning commission’s denials of the special-use permit came after opposition to the church’s request by several people who live or do business in the area, including the owners of two nearby bars who feared negative consequences for their businesses.


Stopped by bar owners which I find especially funny.

SpaceJesus needs to keep studying and some of you need to stop pretending religious facilities have a 1st amendment right to put up buildings where the rest of us don’t want them.
