I think the OP is referring to zoning regulation and not housing regulation. Zoning in the Bay Area is truly horrendous. There's vast swaths of land that's mandatory detached single home only. Some cities in the Bay Area, for example, even ban a second storey.
- maxerickson 7y agoI wasn't really being specific, I was simply addressing the statement that housing prices are a 'free' market, which they aren't. There are probably good zoning type regulations (things like controls on industrial activities) and there are certainly excessive building regulations. The classic problem of regulation is doing it right, not the question of doing it vs not doing it.
