Your post is needlessly political, but you have a fair point. Ultimately there is a balance between too much and not enough regulation. Certain regulations are very important, such as those for public safety around earthquakes, floods, fires, etc. But we have a lot of zoning regulation in this country that seemingly just exists to support special interests at the detriment of society as a whole. For instance, there is a significant amount of single family zoning in California that has prevented developers from building sufficient housing density where it is needed. Recently, some areas have lost their zoning privileges due to state law because they’ve refused to take any steps to solve the problem. I believe we need to significantly reduce zoning restrictions around the country to allow for more housing to be built with the aim of bringing down housing costs.
