> No, there is no legitimate reason for zoning. No, there is no legitimate reason to prevent or enforce resource collection. No, there is no legitimate reason to mandate specific color to be used when painting a building, or that said building follows any specific design requirements or safety requirements.
You've established that you draw the line at "store large amounts of fuel and explosives", but this would allow me to buy a house in a quiet neighbourhood, tear it down and build an auto shop, a 24/7 manufacturing facility or a night club.

If they are causing noise above the standard, or causing emissions, then then should surely be brought to answer for that. But if they take precautions to ensure noise levels aren't above the standard (which should be the same everywhere), there is no problem at all to build a nightclub there.
- kansface 5y agoYou presuppose that there is ever any sort of enforcement for noise pollution, or any other form of the degradation of the commons.
- jdasdf 5y agoThat issue is solved by not restricting enforcement to police.
- antifa 5y agoSo... mob justice?
- jdasdf 5y agoSimply allowing private citizens to bring forth any charges that the police is allowed to bring forth would suffice. If a police officer can issue a ticket for making too much noise, or bring someone to court for polluting too much there is no reason why any other citizen should be prohibited from doing the same on the exact same terms.
- aww_dang 5y agoA purely private system could be imagined where individuals could seek redress for damages. The private property argument generally doesn't give an owner the right to interfere with another property owner's use of property. Private courts and contract law are often promoted as part of this argument. Even within the public law system there are noise ordinances. One difference might be where a manufacturing facility is causing quantifiable damages in the form of pollution, yet a public regulator such as the EPA determines that the pollution is within their guidelines. In this case the property owner may have little or no recourse against the pollution. Another case could be the state building an interstate highway through a neighborhood, causing pollution and diminishing the quality of life for residents. https://www.nyclu.org/en/campaigns/i-81-story https://www.nyclu.org/en/campaigns/i-81-story
