    It depends on the regulation. Take zoning for example, you definitely don’t want a bunch of kids or elderly people living next to dangerous factories, but the laws usually go too far and prevent corner stores in residential areas, or demand way too much parking. Regulation can be good or bad.

      The big problem with zoning laws is it’s far too difficult to get the zoning redefined.

      There’s a plot of land near me that’s on a high speed road, It is an old residential plot but because of the road no one wants to live there. In the past when the houses were originally built it was a quiet road, but it’s been upgraded over the years.

      It’ll be an excellent place for a small shop, and indeed a local shop in that area is desperately required, but because it’s zoned as residential they can’t build a shop there. No residential property is ever going to be built there, it’s been abandoned for 20 years, if one was going to be built it would have been built by now.
