By "proximate", I don't mean "my home's value dropped more after the bubble popped than I think it should have because [points to new housing]". I mean the housing built as a consequence of relaxed laws directly caused the decline.
Houston seems like a good case study as it lacks zoning and vast swaths don't have deed restrictions, either.
