Agreed, zoning laws and by extension car dependant infrastructure are a huge source of costs both to the individual and society.

Starting at the unnecessary additional land that it mandates, to promoting a one size fits all solution for every individual, to the additional roads and parking that becomes an enormous burden on the taxpayer to subsidize.

Incentivize not just more construction but more dense and varied construction the does not require the additional expense of private automotive transport.
