    You say “just… trying to protect existing housing zoning” as if it isn’t an absolutely catastrophic, economically ruinous, and socially unjust clusterfuck.

      There’s no commentary, or opinion, or politics, in my comment.

      Just stating my understanding of the literal article.

            ‘Protect’ can imply it’s a victim of an unjust action. ‘Maintain’ may perhaps be a more neutral term.

              ‘Protect’ can imply it’s a victim of an unjust action.

              Not in the context of how I used it. Context matters.

              ‘Maintain’ may perhaps be a more neutral term.

              The article describes a conflict between the city and the state, so ‘maintain’ would not be a proper word, ‘protect’ would be. The state was trying to take something away from the city.
