So, it's basically welfare for tech schools, and 'preferred businesses'. This all adds cost to the colleges, since they know they have a forced enrollment, and to the rent or housing price, since the landlord/real estate co. has to pass those costs on to the new tenants. Meanwhile, people sleep on the streets. Were it not for these regulations, they'd find rent much cheaper, wouldn't they? Course we're not supposed to figure that out, are we?

You know what would be fun?
To get a voting bloc on the county/city council. All agree to new zoning to allow trailers in wealthy neighborhoods. The housing prices would take a nosedive!!!

One of the reasons this happens is that the system has a built-in bias towards special interest legislation. Say, for example, there are 1000 beekeepers in your state. It is in the interest of those beekeepers to take the time and spend the money to form an association and hire a lobbyist to watch what government is doing on bee-related issues and to push legislation that protects existing beekeepers from competition. The result is that everyone in the state pays more for bee products. But that additional cost is spread thinly. While each beekeeper may benefit by many thousands of dollars annually from having competition limited, the average person only pays a few cents more. While it makes economic sense for the special interest to organize, monitor, lobby, and make strategic campaign contributions, it is not economically rational for the consumer to even make the effort to know what bee-related legislation is being considered, let alone make an effort to shape it.Originally Posted by Origanalist
This is a "public choice" analysis of licensing. The recently deceased economist James Buchanan won the Nobel prize for his work in this area. Interesting stuff. It makes an irrefutable case for why democracy always fails.

Probably just answer some stupid questions, and pay the fee, which is all they're after anyway.

Nah Zoning is just another type of government bullshit. In zonings case it the government tells you what you can do or build on your property and how your allowed to do it.
The cost to comply with zoning regulations along with other regulations simply drives many people away from developing or using their land. If they do lets say open a business or build apartments theyll just pass the extra cost over to the consumer thus increasing prices. This is a bigger problem in inner cities.
