No one has the "right" to devalue ANOTHERS property, hence zoning laws. They knew (or should have known) what those zoning laws were before they moved in. Now they cry "racism" when the LAW is enforced.

Zoning laws are city/county enforced. Landowners want them because they protect their investments. If they didn't want them, they would vote in politicians who would repeal them. Strict zoning is a good thing, IMO.

So then, do regulations concerning, say, "scenic corridors" meet your approval? Or perhaps any environenmantal regualtions, many of which, if enforced, would certainly, and do, bolster certain landowner's property values, though at the same time they restrict other landowners. For example, say I wish to log my property, but the other property owners in the area have passed environmental regulation forbidding it. I would assume you would be in favor? Technically, you still own the property, and can do many things on it, of course they must be reasonable, but hey, it's a fairly free country. But with regulations, zoning, etc, you are steadily limited and limited in what you can do with your own property, and I don't see it as a good thing.
