I don't remember reading set aside, it is, reportedly, possible to change dumb laws. I ran into the same idiotic regulations when I built. He and I both wanted to do the best thing environmentally, but the regulators insisted on an expensive failing technology.

He could well end up losing out to that if someone else successfully built a bunch of stuff that the planning regulations may have prevented. (Unless I have totally misunderstood the situation....)
What he would lose, wasn't his. I understand some people need to keep undesirables away (trailer park is code for poor rural white) but reducing housing choice damages people's financial well-being.
