regulations and laws designed to manage or prevent distasteful things

Those ordinances don't ban adult bookstores or massage parlors or unregistered vehicles but merely segregate them to make them less objectionable. There is a salient difference between managing and preventing. Your ordinances are not at all the same as discriminating against a class of people.

America's communities have lots of rules, regulations and laws designed to manage or prevent distasteful things.

If people feel that those rules, regulations, and laws intrude on their personal rights and freedoms, they have the right to petition the courts for redress. The courts are tasked to judge the petition on the basis of legality, not popularity.
