I agree, but for a different reason. Good zoning laws are what make some places such desirable areas to live. It's great city planning and maintenance that create the few great, walkable, urban areas we have in the US.
If we get rid of zoning then soon everywhere will be terrible, but at least everywhere will be equal. If we put property rights above all else we can reach a level of dystopia in our urban areas that will make them far less desirable, and as a result people will spread out more from the urban centers.
- jeffbee 4y agoHard disagree. The most walkable, desirable neighborhoods in America are the ones that could not be built under current regulations.
- anon291 4y agoNo it's not. I live in a 150 year old neighborhood built before zoning. It is an extremely desirably neighborhood. one of the most expensive in this city. It is lovely, desired, and expensive because everyone wants to live here.
- themagician 4y agoIt is zoning that has protected it. If it's 150 years old it's likely a historic district.
