if you're asking *should the person sell the land*, then thats different. BUT it still doesn't reflect the person's political stance. people have different reasons for doing different things. this isn't much of a political issue. maybe its sort of a community wellfare issue, but on such a low level of politics (local city politics), there aren't really distinct party lines. cities don't make big decisions on tax and economics (they make little decisions sometimes, depending on the size of the city), or on things like abortion and civil rights.
you guys took my scenario COMPLETELY away from the point.... and you made it harder than it was.. there were only 2 simple answers.. each leading to one of the 2 ideals... conservative, or liberal.. and thats it.. of course you can break it up and go deep with it.. but that wasnt the intent.. :slap:
on a side note.. i change my vote to conservative... although i'm liberal when it comes to taxation
