The Koch brothers support anything that forwards Libertarian ends, and reducing regulation for the sake of reducing regulation is a libertarian end. Because libertarianism is fundamentally a willful and deliberate disregard for externalities, saying "zoning makes housing expensive" while completely ignoring the pricing effects of eliminating zoning regulation is textbook libertarianism that precisely matches the typical Koch brothers modus operandi.

    Does this mean you now support Trump's immigration plan, since opposing it would put you in line with what Koch industries want?

What are you, twelve? You can either debate like you respect my ability to form an argument or you can smugly smirk into the silence. After all, you're the one who didn't even bother to figure out the context of the videos he's posting. I can discuss zoning at length but I'm not feeling particularly inclined to interact with someone who can toss out a false equivalency like that and act like he made a point.
