That's not a winning formula at all. When my neighbor's DIY grow farm in a shed burns down, the fire spreads and affects me. When my neighbor decides to open a diesel engine repair business, the noise and fumes affect me. Most people don't want that.

Segregating housing from industry makes sense, and is what's done everywhere, but segregating housing from services, like coffee shops or day-care, is a very uncommon thing globally.

We still have tort law. No need to impose the equivalent of years of average income on buyers, to entertain people’s neuroticism
