Olde world towns generally have more zoning (AKA "planning permission" in the UK), not less. America certainly has some zoning problems but abolishing it isn't the answer.
- voisin 4y agoSource? in what way are the planning permissions in the UK “more zoning” in the US? What else is regulated that is not in the US?
- foreigner 4y agoThey're much more strict. If e.g. you want to add a room to your house you have to apply for permission, and then post a notice detailing what you're going to do in the street in front of your house to give your neighbors an opportunity to object. Source: I live here LOL
- voisin 4y agoAdd a room as in add an addition to your house? Or change the interior configuration? If the former, it is no different in the US if the zoning does not already allow for the expansion (I.e. as in the case of most suburban houses, the house is already built to the maximum size on the lot and the home owner needs a variance)
