Capitalism is the reason that regulations exist. Apartments cost less than single family homes. Makes total sense for developers to get regulations passed that prevent that sort of competition.

I mean, I suppose you could call regulatory capture 'capitalism'... But seeing as most people's response to 'capitalism failing' is to call for more regulation, I don't think that that's really fair.

I think you're under a delusion that 'government' and 'capitalism' are separate things.

Well, there exist countries that have government without capitalism, so yes I do believe they are.

sigh... you can't have capitalism without government.
