Developers don't abridge the rights of their customers out of some inexplicable, cruel perversion. They form these associations, and grant them restrictive powers, because customers demand it, because doing so maximizes the market value of the properties they wish to sell. As buyers, developers hate zoning law, but as sellers they promulgate it. It is "the market" that demands some mechanism of overcoming potential coordination problems among neighbors, not the acommercial mix of identity politics, misplaced environmentalism, and "NIMBY"-ism that Yglesias and Avent emphasize. The only reason city neighborhoods don't have restrictive covenants and powerful community associations is because they have city governments that serve the same function. | cite = [[Steve Waldman]], "{{Link |Zoning laws and property rights}}" }}
