Private Regulations Provided as a Service to the Public Regulation in the free market is a service that is provided to the consumers voluntarily by producers.
Regulation is a product itself, a service, that consumers demand.
Different consumers demand different types of regulation and to different degrees, some consumers may want little or no regulation and they have the right to seek goods and services which are unregulated and purchase them at a cheaper price, without strict inspections, protections or warrantees, where the buyer purchases that product as is and takes one's chances with it. Other consumers may want some limited regulations, for which they are willing to pay, to provide some minimal guarantees, while other consumers may be willing to pay a higher price for heavily regulated products which are heavily regulated, strictly inspected, guaranteed and provides greater protections. As a person is free to spend one's money as one chooses, an individual consumer has the right to spend one's money to seek the kind and level of regulation that one demands, and by the same token, the consumer has a right to spend one's money, or save one's money, on unregulated products. This free market service of regulation applies to all goods and services including choice of money, banking, insurance, health care, transportation, legal services, etc. 1 - Zoning Voluntary private zoning can be effective in preventing some types of undesirable development by creating a zoning checkerboard, meaning, if you get some people to agree to sign on, you may have a checkerboard with some in and some not within the neighborhood, but this is effective because those who have not joined will leave these small pieces of property between others that have joined, which will make these isolated properties unusable for developing commercially or for other uses that's inconsistent with the surrounding properties.
