@oboe -- Is it an infringement on my essential liberties that I can't sell my rowhouse to someone who's going to open a strip-club?

You example is extreme, but zoning is indeed an infringement, because (as you are well aware) a new strip club will affect the property values of its neighbors. However, as has been pointed out many times in other threads, cites need the ability to adapt to new uses, and when zoning hinders this, you have problems.
