Zoning does not prevent either of those things. In my town, massive subdivisions went in next to a garbage dump. Now people are complaining about the garbage dump. It was all 'zoned.' Look at industrial areas on a google map. They will often have housing near/around them. Without zoning, the people that don't want to be near those things will not be near them, just as now. Anarchy means an absence of order. Did humans live in anarchy before the early to mid 20th century when zoning was adopted en masse?
