Can we at least agree zoning laws are a terrible way to regulate air pollution?
Noise is readily solved by better insulation which has a lot of other benefits as well, and fewer zoning laws reduce the cost of housing thereby freeing up income for things like insulation.
I view streets as a public good. One person in a neighborhood does not have any more claim to a stretch of road than the person in the next neighborhood. The locals have no standing to prevent people from driving on their street. |
