And that needs to change. Local communities are harming the nation with their NIMBY shit. Feds should step in.

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

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.

Good thing I said "removes or negates."
