Hey
I read this thread and just had to weigh in. I work for a city in a planning department. (Please don't hurt my family or tell my bishop)
First let me say I don't think Moses is a bad man, neither are all of the concepts of socialism. Unfortunately, people in the USA are only exposed to the liberal left idea of socialism which teaches people to give up religion, hate themselves for having children or for existing on mother earth. When people talk to Moses they are speaking and hearing out of totally different experiences.
NZ and Usa also do planning differently. In the USA the City makes their future plans available to the public--then if you buy a house next to an empty field that is planned for condos it is expected that a reasonalble person would have checked the public record to see what might happen next door and you cannot claim damages. This system works great for people moving into a community, but has some problems for people who are there when the plans change (and plans always change).
Next, I can say that I cannot recall a single Christian at a public hearing. The people who come to city hall lie, swear, threaten, try to take advatange of their neighbor, seek only their own good and use every device and artifice to get their way. Therefore I am sure that not a single christian has come here.
Finally Joesph Smith planned city layouts and included restrictions on uses, but I don't know how he felt about polka-dots.
