> Aren't most people actually asking for less regulation, especially less strict zoning? No. People who want to do things that zoning doesn't permit are advocating certain things under the banner of "less regulation". It's not clear they actually have thought through the consequences of less regulation; it's just that they think it will get them the policy outcome they want. Years of going from idealized to actual implementation experience tells us that the most likely thing to happen is .. something other than what proponents have in mind. Most people who live in those homes don't want a major change that will destroy the values they find there. People advocating radical change for the most part explicitly plan to harm their interests and take pleasure in the prospect that they will be harmed.
