Zoning laws are a great way to implement social segregation without explicitely saying it too loudly, I guess that's the reason they are so popular in "free" and "open" societies.
- gameman144 4y agoZoning laws are just a great way to implement whatever priorities people have for the places they live and access. Want to prioritize walkability to shops? Zoning is a great way to make that happen. Want to prioritize keeping noisy things away from residential areas? Zoning is great for that too! Want to make a socially segregated city? You can absolutely do that with zoning! Zoning is a super great tool, it's just that the things it optimizes for are sometimes misguided (or in some cases straight-up harmful).
