Oh, as far as reducing things - remember that we rely on municipalities all the time for zoning and land use control. The same councilors that prevent a smelter from going up beside your house, make other rules too, such as banning chickens, or restricting drive thrus. It's all about balance, right? Drive thrus do cause problems, so some neighborhoods might vote to ban them. That is their right. Other neighborhoods restrict the quantity or location. That isn't draconian prohibition or eugenics, that is land management. It's done all the time. Extra health tax on coke? I say no. I generally advocate for the european model of letting grown adults manage themselves. So I don't have the answers. If we filled out a survey based on your specific examples, we'd all answer differently. As far as comparisons to eugenics, yeah it is very much absurd when used as a reason not to listen to advocates of activity friendly neighborhoods.
