I'm just trying to point out that the majority of the comments in the thread are focussed on price inefficiency instead of actually being concerned with problems of poverty.
But you raise a great point because _zoning_ is absolutely the biggest market intervention problem...and that certainly is a problem of greed.
There's nothing wrong with greed. Greed is why you choose job A over job B, partner Y over partner Z, and many other choices in your life.
Compulsion is the problem. That's why being a mugger is frowned upon and being a mechanic, generally, is not. Both are greedy, or look out for their self interest. It is compulsion which makes building restrictions abhorrent. Similarly, it is compulsion which makes rent control abhorrent.
