    So then the federal government should regulate zoning laws. Which is the opposite of fewer federal regulations.

        It is in the figure as a part of the housing policy proposal of a presidential campaign. The executive of the federal government doesn’t control city councils so it must be federal regulations that will be impacted.

          That’s one of the regulations we need to change lol

          Regardless, the federal government has a long history of using federal money to convince or bully local governments into doing what the Feds want.

      You’ll never believe this, but you can actually add a regulation that removes or negates other regulations, resulting in overall fewer regulations.

        That depends heavily on how you are counting regulations in this case. You are increasing the number of enforced federal regulations while the regulations at the local level may be increased, decreased, or unchanged based on how local regulations interact with the federal regulation.
