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.
Do you think deregulation would lead to less car-centric city planning in America?
I recall that you considered it a sign over poverty that people went grocery shopping by bike in Europe. However, the reason that people bike more could be construction regulation. For demonstration, here is a video by a Canadian who moved to Amsterdam for its city planning and is rather happy about being able to bike to IKEA: https://youtu.be/CgvYgxo6UY8. In some of his other videos he explains that America has construction regulation that favors building car infrastructure. The real estate market in the Netherlands surely is overregulatedas well. Still, I wonder if the choice for bikes and public transport over cars is closer to what contractors would do if they had the freedom to choose. Will there be a chapter about this in the book?
