Why do folks feel the need to make that statement as if they have decades of data supporting an opinion like that? The kind of residential zoning flexibility hasn't been around for 70+ years, since the pre-war era - especially what Washington state has done. Nobody who is alive now really has any clue how this works or what will happen.
What we do know is that when zoning wasn't so controlled by local government regulations our neighborhoods developed to meet many more needs than current planning comes close to.
