[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friendly reminder that the suburbs DO generate economic activity. Every house in my neighborhood regularly hires tutors, cleaners, maintenance people (pool/yard/indoors), cooks, sports instructors and babysitters. People are constantly getting deliveries. Additionally, many people operate businesses operate businesses out of their homes, such as remote consulting firms and in-home daycares. We have restaurants & big box stores.[/quote]

More people could operate businesses out of their homes if the zoning codes allowed it.[/quote]

Why would neighbors want that?[/quote]

Because neighbors are people who would be able to operate businesses out of their homes if the zoning codes allowed it, and/or might want to be customers of those businesses, and/or don't feel entitled to control how their neighbors use their property.[/quote]

Do you own a home? Do you have kids? Do they go to public school?

[/quote]

What could that possibly have to do with whether this person’s neighbors should be allowed to open a hair salon? [/quote]

I’m sure renters are fine with neighborhood hair salons. Homeowners, who can’t just pick up & leave when the neighbor’s business gets too loud, will not be.[/quote]
