They were written when people actually had pigs, cows, and chickens around the house, roaming lose. Considering that even the food we get from Whole Foods is filled with carcinogens, unleashing urban farms like they did in Detroit has health, economic, and educational rewards that far outweigh any fear of deregulation. Kind of silly really when I read the regulations on the books. All that is needed is a rooster ban.
