Aside from zoning, there's also wealth disparity. What do I mean? My local historic neighborhoods are beautiful, walkable, with modest houses, and the most expensive place in town by a long sight. People are buying up adjacent properties, knocking everything down, and building big, fancy houses on the merged plots. Essentially, thanks to tremendous wealth, people are inserting suburban houses & attempting to have it all - large modern house in cute old walkable neighborhood. The end game, unfortunately, is obvious.
