I've never really thought of zoning laws as a contract with neighbors as opposed to an imposition by a self-serving bureaucracy. That's an interesting and new (to me) perspective. Not sure I agree with it, but I'll definitely mull it over. Thanks!

It's an abstract interpretation. If you steelman the intent of most government policies you can imagine they were once well intended and reasonable.
When created in earnest, laws are like The Nature of the Firm applied to contracts. Obviously they aren't often created in earnest and even when created in earnest are too broadly applied (firm is so big it'd actually inefficient).
