>If I want to build a house in Sonoma, the voters in LA should not get a say.

Should they get a say about building the necessary infrastructure to make your home (as opposed to homestead) possible in Sonoma? Their tax money is spent on it.

>And if your town's rules are overly burdensome and stupid, that's an issue for your town's government to solve.

And whose issue is it to solve if every single town's rules are overly burdensome and stupid? Not for incumbent homeowners, mind you, for them all is well and they'd like to keep it that way. But for renters and those wanting to afford a place to live.
