    fwiw where I live in Los Angeles we have actual operational oil derricks right in the middle of residential neighborhoods but it's nearly impossible to build apartment buildings. https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2014/08/the-urban-oil-fields-of-los-angeles/100799/ https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2014/08/the-urban-oil-fiel... If zoning can't prevent the heaviest of heavy industries from sharing space with schools and playgrounds then I don't see why keeping it around to kill new housing projects is so useful.
