NIMBYism isn't state interference, though. It's usually based on the use of existing laws to protect the rights of existing property owners. You might as well argue that copyright is an infringement of the free market.

I agree that the green belt is a restriction of the free market, but without it, the whole of the south east of England would essentially be a London-lite sprawl. However, I don't remember arguing in favour of an unregulated free market.

Hold on. Isn't that the very definition of NIMBYism?
