Zoning laws are absurd, but if anyone thinks getting the Feds even more involved is going to make it better, just ask yourself if it would be a good thing to give congress even more stuff to fight about and be ineffective at handling.
- mywittyname 7y agoGenerally, laws that effect large groups of people are going to be less onerous than ones which effect only a few. Local governments are notoriously petty and rife with corruption/favoritism. I've seen local laws get passed just because someone on the board had a personal vendetta. People are assholes. Also, Congress would offload responsibility to an agency, likeHouse & Urban Development. So I doubt they'd fight too much over day-to-day matters.
- tomohawk 7y agoHeh - have you ever had to deal with HUD? I cannot imagine involving them more would yield a good result. Local governments can be petty, but that is the human condition. Congress has been known to be petty and corrupt, and so have federal agencies.
