I remember studying the timeline of city planning laws, and I think 1924 sounds right, but I could be mixing it up with another act.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The frequency of business impact could be a key consideration, but the cost-benefit analysis also seems crucial.

1938? That's the year my great-grandpa got his first driver's license. I'm going with D on this one, just to be on the safe side.

Aha, C) 1934! That's when they really started getting serious about urban planning. Or maybe it was just a really good year for zoning laws?
