Sure. Tell me, do you think that every single person in your society follows the same rules or are some of them more equal than others?
The point is society agrees the rules are fair and consistent. Philosophy can have a whole other discussion of what “fair” and “consistent” means - but they generally don’t have answers and I don’t care. Even if they are biased against you, and you find them unfair, if you at least can read them you know/can find loopholes.
Odor scrubbers is why zoning shouldn’t specify no farms, it should specify odor levels. There will be more technological progress.
Zoning laws are in part about “Karen’s”, but there are some useful things in them, and they were also adopted back in the day because of some things modern humans also agree is wrong. this is why I used hog farms as an example - people need to figure out what the real important part is. I’ve been in hog barns, I wouldn’t want to live near one without odor control, and zoning is how you accomplish that. That zoning as we currently write it solves it in the wrong way doesn’t mean we throw up the idea of preventing the problem.
The part that keeps dangerous industry away from places where people live.
I recognize two zones, places where accidents, odor, or other such issues may reach neighboring property and everything else. The first shouldn’t allow houses, offices ,or regular stores . Many farmers will be shocked to find I don’t think they should live on their farm.
It is a side effect of separate industrial zones from residential zones. There are borders where they touch and some grandfathered mixes ,but overall it is how things work out.
Edit, i’m sure you can point out many ways where it isn’t very effective at separating things that for reasons of danger should be. However it does still function that way overall even if not perfect.

Tell me what part of zoning makes sense.

What part is that? Keep in mind that this is my profession. Show me the “part of zoning” that does this.
