I sure hope not.
Zoning Laws are one of the most evil intrusions onto the concept of private property ever developed.
SO9
Zoning laws, if abused, can lead to intrusions on private property ownership. On the other hand, they also protect property owners from having their property value destroyed by those who acquire adjacent property.
For example, suppose you have a nice home in a reasonably well-to-do neighborhood with a value of $150K (for the sake of argument). I buy the lot/house next door and pay slightly over market value at $170K. Since there are no zoning laws, I convert the house into a dealership in porn, sex toys, and herbal products. You suspect (along with your neighbors) that my property is also being used for prostitution and possibly drugs, but after several visits by the police (I have now filed a harassment complaint against you and the police department) there has been not even a whiff of anything that could remotely be described as evidence of any crime.
Before long, several of the neighbors decide to move away (their right and yours to move if you don't like my exercise of my property rights), but because of the very obvious sign on my place of business, they have trouble getting a decent price for their homes. They begin to panic and take huge losses on their property, accepting $50K to $60K for their $100K+ homes. By the time you decide to sell, the most you can get for your $150K home is $45K, which I am willing to pay you since it will give me room to expand my business. Of course, once I have bought your property and those of several of your neighbors, I own a great deal of prime real estate in this neighborhood that will appreciate in value once I shut down my porn/sex-toy/herbal product operation or move it to a more commercial location. You and the neighbors are hosed, but after all, I was just exercising my property rights.
Sometimes, limited zoning regulations are appropriate.
