Johnny Rocket Launch Pad-libertarian Rock N' Roll Experience

Show Summary: Can Zoning protect and enhance property values? Does zoning prevent the mixing of incompatible land? We’re told, without zoning of neighborhoods and cities, they would be crowded and chaotic. Would there be brothels near preschools and skyscrapers in your neighborhood? Is this all untrue? This week on Blast Off! Johnny Rocket is joined with guest co-host Sherry Voluntary, and Professor Ben O’Neill, a research fellow at the Australian National University. Professor O’Neill is here on the show to shed light on the subject of zoning laws. Government zoning laws do not merely operate more arbitrarily and less efficiently than voluntary restrictive covenants, it restricts freedom. It’s Zoning Madness!
