Or we could do something crazy like respect democratic norms rather than descending into a plutocratic hellscape.

A neat thing about private property is you can be your own plutocrat and run it precisely how you desire. You can make a big paved area and open it up to car drifters, homeless, and lemonade stands. You can get it done exactly right.
In fact, you can democratize it and let everybody who shows up have a vote about what they can do on your property.

Descending to a plutocratic hellscape (without dragging others and this project doesn’t) is a basic human right we all should respect please!

There is an equally strong case for the person on the other side for the behavior they are trying to exclude to do the same. Just stop sucking please, they say.
Not saying they are right, just saying pleas in that manner are already falling on ears deafened to them.

The US is a huge country, it has plenty of space for experiments. It is not as if those people are taking over an ancient city of million people and bending it to their whim. Quite to the contrary, taking part in this project is entirely voluntary.
