Property rights are amazing. You aren’t allowed to build what you want on your land but you are allowed to tell other people what they can’t do on their land, mutually assured deliberation.
Given what an amazing impact this would have, do you believe those that support housing regulation are irrational, evil, or both? Why are the number of people that are irrational, evil, or both a big enough portion of the population to cause such damage? How many people do you think your comic book will convert from being irrational, evil, or both and why?
What are some successful examples of societies that have avoided this problem?
Myself, I'm probably MORE supportive of housing deregulation then you, but I'm extremely doubtful of the tactics your using.
