"The example that was used was a church near a house of ill repute"
That had to of been a looonnng time ago, I don't think that there have been publicly acknowledged "houses" in Houston since the '40s, possibly not even that late.

According to the article, it was in the 70's that this occurred.

I don't really see where zoning solves any problems that out weigh the drawbacks, i.e. excess regulation and the certainty that some city councilperson from the shallow end of the gene pool will take payoffs to re-zone a property. Too much money to be made, and too many elected people with no brains, morals or ethics...

Nothing works when its corrupted. When zoning is applied appropriately and fairly, it can be a fairly effective tool.
