Reply to comment by DJBabyB0kCh0y in Opinion: New York finally has momentum on housing and it’s time for a breakthrough by King-of-New-York

Every housing regulation drives up costs for building and maintaining. State and local governments have to look at regulations and see which can be removed.

I'm all for removing regulations that provide no utility besides a straight cash grab.

But all regulations provide utility in some way.

It’s trivial to contrive a valid reason for some regulation. It has to be a cost-benefit analysis of if the regulation is worth the negative impact on housing.
