- baybal2 8y agoI heard this argument. I think, one need to prove that zoning is not a commerce regulation, but a sanitary one.
- thechao 8y agoShut off federal funding to cities that don’t meet fed zoning guidelines; discount state funding from the fed for state’s that don’t enforce reasonable zoning.
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoJust use FHA mortgage lending rules the same way that they did when they caused zoning rules to be imposed in the first place. Cut off all federal backing of mortgages in cities that have zoning laws.
- ThrustVectoring 8y agoIt's pretty straightforward - zoning interferes with labor mobility and thus interstate labor markets. If programmers outside of SF cannot afford to buy a house in SF, it affects their wages by suppressing their ability to move when they cannot get a high enough wage locally. There's precedent in intrastate agriculture being subject to the interstate commerce clause for similar reasons (that is, affecting interstate prices)
