> It's not strange at all, without zoning you get shops (and buildings) which extract all the shared value of a community and give nothing back.
I don't see that in Japan, which is very liberal in zoning. Taiwan is less liberal but doesn't pick which shops. Both are wonderful countries with vibrant, dynamic cities. We have friends in both places, and family in the latter, and life is quite pleasant.
