It would also allow Exxon to install an oil rig 15 feet away from your backyard privacy fence and there's not shit you can do about it. Zoning laws exist for a reason. They're a bit shit, yes, and changing the way they work would go a long way toward improving America's reliance on cars. But blanket removal of regulations is never the answer for any industry anywhere. We should know better by this point that unregulated capitalists will extract every last drop of value from a given proposition with no regard to anyone else impacted by it. It's happened hundreds of times already.
