Sure, if you don't mind the smell from the nuclear-powered mercury reclamation plant that I'm putting up next door.
Sorry about the noise, BTW, but the lot on the other side of yours is the perfect location for our CEO's private helipad.
(Incidentally, if you were really asking me about a shed, and not merely trying to bait us onto some slippery slope to anarchy... I rather like small cottages and would like to put one up myself. So I'd be pretty sympathetic at your zoning board meeting.
Ultimately, I'm guessing that zoning boards exist only because people were historically unwilling to just ask their neighbors first and abide by their preferences. And zoning boards can still be overridden if enough of your neighbors agree. It's called a "variance".)
