I've had this conversation, he thought everything would be fine if we eliminated zoning laws.

Hell yeah, now Industry can have its workers live next to them, no more commutes! They'll be so healthy :) /s

I mean, wasn't the elimination (or extreme relaxation by American standards) of zoning laws one of the ways Tokyo has been able to afford to house so many people at such affordable rates?

Not saying we need kindergartens between the sewage recycling plant and the land fill, but being able to build housing over shopping centers would be nice.
