You posted: Zoning laws are theft. They are always theft. If you own something, you have the absolute, inalienable right to use it as you please, with the only restriction being that you must not violate the rights of others.

What violates the rights of others, in your opinion? If your next door neighbor decides to build a gas station and car repair shot next door, open until 10 or 11 at night, with bright lights flashing, noise and smell, would you be ok with that? I’d have a problem, unless, at the time I bought my home, I knew that it was possible for this to happen, or unless I could afford enough property to create an adequate buffer from this sort of use. Most people cannot afford that much land. Zoning laws can be abused, by governments and landowners, but they can, and usually do, protect property rights, at least when thoughtfully adopted and applied.
Read upthread, there were buildings zoned commercial all around him, including next door.
