We eliminated most planning and all building codes for owner/builders in my county (granted not federal, but one of the most cited 'written in blood' regulations). The end result was none of the apocalyptic predictions. People build whatever housing they can afford rather than buying more housing safety at the expense of less healthcare and food, education etc. When we deregulated, people made their own safety calculus and it worked. And it's why I have a home.
