Parent made it sound like the government has a moral right to zoning laws. I would argue that zoning laws are more often abused than used properly.


The government does have a moral right to zoning laws.

We, as citizens, have ascribed them that right. And it is what protects me from having my neighbours run a brothel or smelting plant in their house.


That's not a "right", that's a power struggle. What protects the brothel owner from being kicked out of town?
