Zoning Kills Competition and Communities

http://mises.org/daily/4264

This article demonstrates the killing power that zoning laws create. They attack small, locally owned businesses by eliminating the convenience and connections that they have in the communities.

A group of Mineral Countians has supported bringing zoning laws into the area for years. They express the fear that someday Mineral County will wake up one day and look like a county in Virginia that is ten minutes' drive from Washington D. C.

This article describes the true cost of zoning laws. Put that against the fanciful idea that within ten, twenty, or fifty years that this county will be completely urbanized.
