What is done with the costs of complying with the consumer protection regulations?
Government regulations are needed but they add to the costs of complying with the regulations. Most often this results in a higher price for consumers. But that is not always the case. Companies benefit all around by cutting the costs of production with new technologies. These cost savings can at times offset the cost of regulations.

How does deregulation help consumers?
You should understand that regulation or deregulation has many different consequences, both good and bad. Regulations are usually put in place to protect the consumer in some way, for example, to ensure that the food that people buy will be healthy for them to eat, rather than tainted or poisonous in some way. On the other hand, when a producer of a product has to comply with regulations, and has to prove compliance, that has costs to the producer, and when the producer has additional costs, those costs are passed on to the consumer in the form of a higher price for the product in question. So the consumer may be getting a safer or better product as a result of regulations, but the consumer will also be paying more for that product. Added to those complex issue is the fact that not all regulations are well designed. Lawmakers may or may not know what they are doing. Some regulations have purely political motives, and are intended merely to create the impression of responsible government rather than actually being responsible. So really, any given regulation has to be considered on its merits. Regulation is not always a good thing, and deregulation is not always a good thing.

What is a grandfathered in fence mean?
A "grandfathered in" fence refers to a fence that was constructed before new zoning laws or building regulations were enacted, allowing it to remain in place despite not complying with the current standards. Essentially, it is exempt from having to meet new requirements because it was legally established prior to the changes. This status helps property owners avoid the costs and efforts of modifying or removing the fence to comply with new regulations.
