Detroit's zoning ordinances were set up to percisely do the opposite! This was changed in the 1970's and Detroit was considered the model that all other cities followed. Some cities only allow them in industrial areas which keeps them almost entirely out of the view of housing. The only instances I know of in the US where this has been tried are in New York and Boston. Both were dismanatled due to the problems associated with confining these activities to one area. Just imagagine a whole area of the Cities full with bars like Mandees as was discussed in a thread earlier this week. You are just asking for trouble. Lets just face it these types of establishments bring in the wrong crowds all together. How many times have you heard of people being gunned down in front of these types of bars in the last few years? Too many times? Yep.
