"Hello. And welcome to Let’s Get Zoning, a celebration of the laws that govern how land is used in Somerville Massachusetts. For those who aren’t familiar, Somerville is a 4.2 square mile city located next to Boston Massachusetts, on the eastern seaboard of the United States."

Zoning laws are better than the alternative.
That said, I can only guess at the point intended by this blog post.
I'm presuming it is anti-zoning.
I have my reasons.
I live on the border of Somerville-fyi-Somerville has one of the largest amount of people per square mile in the country.
tits.
Somerville used to be called Slummerville but now it is very expensive.
The alternative of zoning is liberty.
Why are you anti-liberty?
Sounds like what happened to Hoboken NJ happened to Somerville Mass.

I presume you are therefore horrified by Houston (which has no zoning)

Zoning is a good thing. It can be abused but that doesn't make it bad.
Houston is a dump.
Houston is a dump.
Titus used to live in some fab place on Mass Ave, between Harvard and Central Sq. Then he was over near the fire station in Cambridge, and now he's in Summvull (as the townies used to say it before Davis Sq. got all shi-shi). My wife taught at Tufts for 10 years. We met when she lived on Winter Hill, and Whitey Bulger and his eponymous gang were in full flood. Her phone was one digit off from some wise guy, and she used to get calls about "Doin' that business for Jimmy," etc. We were married in the Tufts chapel (in contiguous Medford), and promptly fled to the leafy calm of nearby Winchester, where the only Mafiosi ran an Italian grocery store. Ah! The days of the real Mystic River. Now, Summvll is all frou-frou and studenty and multicultural. Tufts has built lots of new buildings and looks like a real university, and the gangsters and townies have fled. Our friend, Trooper York, would mourn the loss. My wife and I? We moved out near Concord to the classic 'burbs to raise two suburban children, who have neither accents nor ideas to fit with the dead Somerville of 30 years ago.
