I didn't think I had to be explicit - to look at some regulations with negative effects (zoning protectionism for nimby homeowners) and then extrapolate from that that all regulation is bad, is farcical.

But that's not the argument that was made, instead the parent comment went on to claim that the actual problem is "freeloaders" and all that government regulation preventing the few worthy people from getting off the ground.
