So we should lift other zoning restrictions as well.

Allow people to start businesses in these buildings.

It's one thing to prevent boiling horses into glue next to a preschool, but it's entirely another thing to specify that a building cannot contain a barber shop because it's zoned for residential.

We have too much zoning in our country. Too many rules to allow the market to simply solve problems. Oh this neighborhood does't have a doctor's office? Sounds like a great place for a doctor to set up shop, assuming they're allowed.

Go to parts of Texas where they don’t have many zoning restrictions and you will see that they are indeed boiling horses into glue right next to a preschool.

Imagine buying a house and then next door they build a dog food factory.

Good zoning is required for good city planning.

Not sure what you’re responding to, but I specifically said that some zoning is required.

Dog food factory is different than a barber shop, in a very important way.
