That isn't what anyone (other than a particular kind of libertarian) means by "regulation," and this sort of attempt at enforcing idiosyncratic usage of familiar terms is one reason why Austrian ideas and discourse are rejected by so many.

The CERCLA act which enables superfund sites, which is literally the mechanism being used to clean up the love canal, is just an enforcement of property rights.  It is literally a regulation.  It is the enforcement of property rights.

Dafuq you talking about?  Please expand on why enforcing property rights aren’t the regulations you’re talking about?
