8. Zoning is just as bad

My community controls the cutting of trees.
I cannot build anything or cut the trees down within 100 feet of my stream. They have taken control of that land.
Dictates architecture for some homes and businesses.
Will not allow campers in front or side yards.
Want to put a new roof on get a permit.
Heater get a permit.
The zoning is so strict that putting up any building needs special exceptions. Which they charge "fees in lieu of". A completely arbitrary system that has no rules or fee schedule. The supervisors just make it up as they go and pick a number out of thin air.
Zoning in southeastern Pa is out of control.
