if you analyze the history you will see that all regulations were either made to secure the monopoly or benefit parts of one particular sector over another that there are no lobbies. You commented on the garbage being thrown out the window, but the cities did not have to regulate it, since people started doing it before the regulation. Who did it was the low-income people who had no other way of getting rid of the garbage except in this way.
Regulations coming from the government are totally clueless, since private regulations are much more efficient and less invasive in people's lives.
