antizoning
Opposing land-use regulations
Antizoning describes opposition to zoning laws—the regulations that dictate how land can be used in different areas.
Antizoning arguments typically favor property rights and market forces over government planning: The antizoning movement has gained traction among both libertarians and housing advocates.
Those who oppose zoning restrictions believe they drive up housing costs and limit development.
