You don't have to remove the sensible regulations. You need to make enforcement of regulations and the approval process easy, low risk, fast, and cheap - instead of the typical multi-month (or year) bog down that most planning departments in major cities turn into. Removing things like natural spaces, parking, fire safety, and all the other stuff that city planners enforce to keep a city livable is not going to help in any long run situation. Why is there not more funding for those departments to make approval/revisions a breeze and make building lower risk and cheaper for construction companies? Welp - home owners (and big construction/investment companies) are the ones who vote. I expect politicians know exactly what they're doing, keeping things a complicated swamp. But without some sort of governing regulation, I fail to see how anyone benefits in the long run with the tragedy of the commons that would ensue. Agreed on all the rest, especially Georgism.
