While I agree, if that were a law, they would just get all residential property (except for their neighborhood) rezoned.

Edit: Man, you guys really missunderstood my comment. I wasn't saying we should roll over and die, I was just saying that wealthy shitheads cheat and steal.

Rezoned to what and how?

I guess corporations are just our rulers and and we shouldn't even try to restrict them because it might make them mad at us.

Did you know that unlike a corporation, you actually have a say in what your government does?

If they try to get an area rezoned, people can actually just say "no".

This isn't some weird fantasy either, it actually happens all the time if you pay attention to your local government activity.
