Yes, pretty much every country that has sane housing policies and gets shit done, like Japan has elevated this to the national level with the power to break down obstructionism. Local decision making is notoriously corrupt. Be it the police, school boards, some union run rampart, the mob, homeowner associations or some business cartel, it's always local.
In fact if you want to pinpoint the central issue that paralyzes development in America it's the parochialism.
