You would probably not advance the same argument about Marxism if a developer bought the land next door to you and then had the laws changed so that he could put in a sewage treatment plant, a landfill, a used-tire dump, or some other stinking atrocity that ruined your quality of life and compelled you to move. You might then say that such a thing should not be allowed and that the developer's right to make a profit stopped at the end of your property line. Yet this is essentially what is happening in Loudoun County. Developers are asking that sections of land zoned for agriculture be rezoned for residential or commercial development. They're asking that laws be changed so that they can make a profit at everyone else's expense. Their profit also requires local citizens to come up with far more money in property taxes to pay for the new roads and schools the developer's project will require.

Actually, I would advance the same argument - I am intellectually consistent. I would MOVE. In fact, some pain in the butt neighbors bought the house next door and they are loud and obnoxious so we are selling in two years when we complete our projects. Simple.
Those jerks next door bother me more than the development down the street.
So no, I wouldn't say it should stop at the end of my property line. After all, at the end of my property line begins someone else's. :)
