    For similar reasons, I would like to build a house in the form of a 300’ tall wizard tower in a random suburban neighborhood. But those bastards down at the planning division won’t approve my plans!

      There’s a tower house out where I used to work. Built in the 70s I think by a Microsoft exec.

      Only about 100’ tall though I believe.

      It apparently is an airbnb now: the “Union Skyhouse”.

      Socialism is when the planning department won’t approve your 300’ wizard tower on a quarter acre lot. Save us, von Mises!

      Dude, you want to get together? I’ve been planning my wizard tower for years. All I want is a parapet around the top with a telescope out there. The best part is that finding an area with low/no light pollution means there won’t be dang pesky jerks that want to keep a certain look to the neighborhood.
