Let' take it one step further ...

Do away with all zoning regulations -- too "restrictive" upon the free commerce to which all property owners are entitled.

Do away with all building codes -- similarly "restrictive" upon property owners.

Where does it end?

IMHO a "free market" is only free to those with capital. Unfettered it leads to dog-eat-dog and trickle-down BS.

Besides the USA is not a true free market. Rather the economy here is regulated / subsidized in numerous ways, shapes and forms.

The idea that a pure "free market" is workable for society as large and complex as ours is as fanciful as anything produced by Walt and the Disney Studios.
