There was a post on this topic on MarginalRevolution.com just this week where commenters were arguing that the propertied have the right to preserve the value of their assets by restricting new growth, and others brought up building codes and pointed out a highrise in SF that was plagued by construction problems, as if regulation were a one dimensional spectrum.
