Even if it did, all that tells you is that the previous restrictions were highly costly and it was good to get rid of them.
If it makes you feel any better your house is now worth more without you having to do anything.

Yes, that is correct. And I'm not sure why some residents feel entitled to control the type of buildings other property owners create. The right to choose what to do with your own property is much more foundational and logical in a free society. Which is very important since some people act like removing a restriction is almost the same as properties being expropriated by the government and forcefully redeveloped. Redevelopment only happens when someone who owns a property either chooses to redevelop it, or to sell it to someone else who chooses to redevelop it.
