r/Zoning is a subreddit with 655 members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is small in size.
A sub for zoning related discussion. Topics: rezoning, downzoning, upzoning, policy, local and state zoning changes in the news, anything you want to discuss that somehow relates to zoning.
This is a YIMBY focused sub that supports higher density, diversity in building types, and mixed uses as well as the elimination of restrictive, low density single-family only zoning.

Building
: "[Discussion] Perhaps some of you all have noticed this type of Building in your area? It's banned by zoning laws in a lot of cites (setbacks usually prohibit this). Personally, I think it's a solution that serves a purpose and should be legal. I'll post some examples in the comments."

Property
: "What really separates single family and duplex's, legally and for zoning? What stops you from having a sfh that happens to be splittable in two with everything you need on both sides, & letting someone rent out "the other half of my single family home"? Also, is an entire Property always one "zone"?"
