In classical economics, there are three factors of production: land, labor, and capital. Good regulation of private land, and good management of public land, can attract labor and capital. In order to flourish, municipalities must ensure their policies and regulations facilitate (i.e. make profitable) the land development patterns shown on the right below. Instead, most are set up to encourage the patterns on the left: parking minima, setbacks, use-separated zoning and LOS-first public spaces. The result is that infrastructure liabilities far outweigh their tax base, they repel both capital and labor and end up broke.
