But if everyone pushes these limits too far you're going to see more legislation.

But why should I be concerned about how they want to live their lives in the community? They're not concerned about how I want to live my life there. To them a community is me being there seven days a week. Okay, well that's a them thing. Why should I have to cater to their view of what makes a community nice? For me, I like a community that is private and where people mind their own beezwax. I don't need to walk around doing finger guns and high-fiving everyone wherever I go. I like it chill and don't need a bunch of people up in my grill just we can say we have a community.
What about this...can I say I live in Canmore, but come to Calgary to work during the week? I do genuinely feel most at peace and at home in Canmore and Calgary to me now is the place I have to come to work and deal with real life. I know people who live in Calgary and Fort Mac. Week on/week off. Should I tell them they are hurting my feeling of community in Calgary? Do you think they might tell me to fk off if I did that?
Is every person who owns a vacation home acting in a morally questionable manner?
Should there be a cap on net worth for people? If not, you seem to be in favour of how people should be permitted to spend their money. That isn't problematic to you? I just don't see how that doesn't open a whole crazy can of worms.
