I never understood how America with it's "freedom" situation allowed the amount of zoning restrictions to occur.

"Freedom" in the USA also means "freedom to control others." It's baked into our culture. Look at our relationship with Latin America...

We all love to make fun of US citizen. It's an endless source of entertainment, but zoning restriction make sense to me?

But maybe because I never lived on the west coast? Is zoning restriction a poorly use tool there?
