Libertarians have effectively zero say in US politics generally. They have blogs. Trump and Bush Jnr couldn't care less about Libertarians.

However, the place with the lack of Zoning rules that appeals most to Libertarians, Houston, is doing pretty well.

Houston has seen an increase in population from 3.8M in 2000 to 6.4 M in 2020 and has a median house price of $285K.

The Republican party is inundated with Libertarian philosophy. Even the Democratic party is often forced to go along.

Yes, Houston is probably the best example of a libertarian city in the world. Most of us don't want to live there, but someone obviously does.

The irony is that Singapore has a public housing fix to their problem, but is also often touted as being a very economic libertarian city state.
