At the end of the day, zoning should be mostly illegal, except for egregious abuses of public externalities, or industries with major externalities (and even then it should be handled as a special process). Zoning is a terrible infringement upon property rights.
EDIT: also most gov't regulations should be illegal and we should have a severe reigning in of government in these cases. All of a sudden it seems like more 'progressive' people have woken up to the dangers of overregulation, which is great, but it's a bit too little too late, and no one actually votes for it when push comes to shove I've noticed.
