Every defense of zoning is “I don’t want a leather tannery next to my house.” But real zoning is “This is an C-3a1 zone in the shape of a salamander, surrounded by seven other zone types. So your coffee shop can only sell unheated pastries; warm pastries are only allowed in C-3a2, and then only with a conditional use permit.”

@Boenau I still have a hard time understanding how people who say they love freedom could tolerate zoning. It’s the government restricting your freedom, interfering with your property rights, and telling you how you can and cannot live, work, and travel.
