So you wouldn't mind if someone surrounds your house with landfills and nuclear waste storage?

Most zoning seems to make life worse for renters.

But not all zoning is bad.

I mean zoning for house development. Article is about homes, isn't it?

fwiw where I live in Los Angeles we have actual operational oil derricks right in the middle of residential neighborhoods but it's nearly impossible to build apartment buildings.

If zoning can't prevent the heaviest of heavy industries from sharing space with schools and playgrounds then I don't see why keeping it around to kill new housing projects is so useful.
