I disagree, especially if a property creates negative externalaties. Smell, noise, parking issues, etc. are all quality of life problems. I shouldn't be able to tell a neighbor what color to paint their house, but I think it's ok to make sure a neighbor mows their lawn or shovels their sidewalk. Both of these issue impact me directly, and not just in preference. The problem with not having zoning is that you end up with a two tiered housing system. People who can afford it move into private communities where standards can be enforced, and people who can't just live wherever they can find, despite their neighbors. Since I can't afford a private community where I can distance myself from my neighbors, I will support zoning restrictions, thank you.
