The unbelievable bullcrap Roosevelt got away with using in the early 1930s to denounce gold ownership as "hoarding" in America was deftly tied into the then-widespread and largely condoned anti-Semitism in this country, which Roosevelt very much shared as a matter of course.That American Jews tended to trust gold investments over others meant that Roosevelt's gold edict disproportionately stole more from them versus other ethnic groups in the country (most notably white Anglo-Saxon Protestants like Roosevelt).

Just for the "Official Record," I am not absolutely 100% anti-turn key strategy.

Seattle is a very anti-landlord city and I'm willing to bet that there are more out there like San Francisco and others.

It something we've considered, the review process from the county is quite extensive and back in 2006 they were almost anti-development, things might have changed a little since then.

I don't think Hawaii has as big a storm problem, but I recently found a condo that has a $580/month in Maui have big extra assessments for the construction of anti-erosion measures like storm walls.

Mostly it is anti free market. 

You are correct in that a pissing contest is anti-productive for everyone.  

Just a side question.Are they employed by a stable business, like a grocery store, or a hospital, or are they just shakedown artists.Are these ones anti-landlord, or just anti--whatever-ticks them off that day?
