Zoning in general is rife with NIMBY abuse, and almost universally leads to car-centric designs. If an entire square mile is zoned as residential, then residents will be forced to drive in and out of their neighborhood for anything.

Groceries? Entertainment? Corner store? Yeah, all of it is prohibited within the area due to zoning. Residents should be able to walk to their local corner store within 5 minutes, not 25.
