Maybe this policy should be regulated by law. Don't forget that the

anything they wanted, regardless of the fires, disease, and collapses
that resulted.

It's "Libertarians" that believe nothing should be regulated. We
conservatives think some things should be: the border, terrorists, and,
er..., maybe something else. As for building codes etc., the government
could, perhaps, mandate insurance to cover any losses (as they do with auto
liability insurance) and then let people build - or drive - any old way they
want.

I live in a city with no zoning and it works out swell.
