Regulations are neutral. They can be positive, or negative. And should be pruned occasionally probably.
And yea, we have lots of old lead pipes here in certain places. But let's not pretend we can't find fault with the immigrant ghettos in Europe or myriad other issues y'all have over there.
There's problems everywhere there's sufficient numbers and complexity.

Lead pipes in Chicago were due to union regulatory capture and not lack of regulations
And in France alone 7.5 million home have lead pipes [1].
