    I can’t think of many “minor” laws, because it’s hard to really define what “minor” is in this context. So forgive me if some of these are outside the scope of the question.

    • Strodes should be illegal and replaced with the most useful motorway for what’s needing to be achieved
    • The HOA should not be allowed to mandate the cutting of lawns
    • Zoning laws should be changed to make cities walkable
    • Suppressors should be fully legalized, and should be required by all shooting ranges within city limits.
    • Speed limits should be painted on the surface of the motorway every hundred or so feet, in large enough numbers that even people with poor eyesight can see them at a distance
    • Speed limits should be formalized, and greatly reduced within urban areas
    • It should be illegal to create unbroken concrete islands in urban areas
    • It should be legal for people to park a week or more in any large parking lot, and legal for people to live in their vehicles while doing so.
    • It should be illegal to ask a stranger what they do for a living, or how much they make.

        imo talking to fellow workers about how much the boss is paying, and a random stranger asking me what I do for a living while i’m just trying to buy glasses are two totally different things.

        edit: also i should add that my trade is one that liberals have really strong opinions against (i was called a “baby killer” once for even just hinting at working with firearms) and I’m really fuckin’ sick of having to dance around the question when random people I’ve never seen before in my life randomly ask, even though there’s absolutely no reason for them to need to know. Once I was in the line at a walmart, a carton of eggs in hand, and an old lady came up to me and started asking me a fucktonne of weirdly specific questions. I’d really like if that was in some way prohibited behaviour, because fuck it feels like it should be.

      The HOA should not be allowed to mandate the cutting of lawns

      The HOA shouldn’t exist period. They are a tool by rich/middle class people to keep the poor out of sight and out of mind, essentially forcing them out of “better” neighbourhoods through fees and mandatory spending to keep their house looking nice even over their essentials. They’re also not great for the environment by (in most cases) mandating the presence and upkeep of conventional lawns, which are, ecologically, one of the worst things you can plant. Try planting an eco friendly native grass lawn or a garden of edible crops and you’ll get fined (or sent to jail, seriously). They have also been known to impede the installation of things like rainwater collection systems or rooftop solar panels.
