Isn’t zoning and housing inherently specific to the location of the housing or whatever is being zoned? It seems natural to discuss it with that frame of reference implied.

Absolutely, but even within the states I suspect that a lot of things relating to zoning, taxes, etc, vary.

I hear people talk about "Proposition XXX" restricting "stuff", and I wonder if other Americans from different parts of the country would even know what that was.

We don't. All of the "Proposition XXX" stuff is from California. It's pretty annoying when people post those things without an explanation, assuming everyone knows what CA is doing.
