SC Baggers have found another right embedded deep in The Constitution: the right to afflict your neighbor's property values:
A proposed ordinance that proponents argued would have controlled blight in Lexington County ended up stirring up so much ire among residents that it was withdrawn just weeks after being introduced.
...Several groups worked together to defeat the proposal, including Campaign for Liberty, the Lexington Tea Party, the Columbia Tea Party and the Lexington 912 Project, according to Talbert Black, state coordinator for Campaign for Liberty.
...“We moved out in the country because we didn’t want to be bothered,” [Charlotte Bertics of Batesburg] said.
Most opponents didn't realize 85% of the county wouldn't be affected by the ordinance, but bridled at its scope:
The property maintenance ordinance would make it a crime to keep an unclean swimming pool or an unkempt, weed-filled yard with grass longer than 12 inches, not including flowerbeds, according to a draft.
WLTX has film of some of the newly-liberated properties.
