I've seen commentary on other websites saying that this bill would "double the area of the restricted zone." This is simply not true. The current restriction is 500 feet around a house/dwelling. That is, the restriction is a 500 foot radius around that dwelling which creates a restricted area of 785,397.5 square feet.

If the restriction is increased to 1000 feet around that same house/dwelling, the restricted area becomes 3,141,590 square feet which is 4 times the area of a 500 foot restriction.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
