Zoning Board

Does anyone listen to the Zoning Board on Channel 3? I am particularly upset when a poor home owner (Correction occupier!) comes before the "board" and begs for a dispensation from this diktat or that regulation. Whose property is it? And, don't get me started on the property taxes. You really are just renting "your" property from the local version of the gooferment. Like the bumper sticker says: "Onle government can make you pay for services you don't want!".
