(To be clear here, I'm not being accusatory or anything here, I'm genuinely curious) When you say that, what, exactly, do you mean? I feeling like I may be thinking something different from you, because when I picture getting rid of zoning, I see businesses/companies taking over everything and making neighborhoods a bleak nightmare. For example, we just recently had a Chinese group open up a smoke shop in a place not zoned for it. (skipped every single process required of new businesses to open) They got caught fast because the neighborhood they were in started having issues with the shop's customers, so someone blew them in to permitting. Thats what I picture happening with no zoning, but without the ability to turn in the problematic businesses.
Right so you are mentioning ethnicity in a conversation justifying zoning. Not a great look, considering what zoning has been used for.
As the US desegregated zoning laws by sheer numbers increased as well.
I only mentioned it because they were a foreign company from China that ignored all the rules and set up shop. They weren't US citizens of Chinese decent. But if you immediately want to jump to racism, you do you.
It is germane to the subject because zoning laws were invented to perpetuate segregation.
