Pretextual planning is like the ancient precursor to the current in-vogue public policy darling "nudging". It is ahistorical and relies on the notion that somehow city hall employees have some clairvoyant ability to see into the future and predict the run on effects of their arbitrary requirements.

I think the only good zoning is preventing ecologically harmful industries in dense areas. Other than that I'd be happy if it was completely scrapped
