So is zoning. The only purpose of zoning is to take away from me the right to do "X" with my property if I want to do "X", because my doing "X" will harm others ("harm" being a very relative term.) It transfers my excess property value (that I could get by doing "X") to those others.

No, zoing is not an expropriation from one to another. It's a restriction that affects what you want to do with your property, but it doesn't transfer that value to another. By restricting everyone, zoning makes everyone's property more valuable. It's a response to a collective action problem.
eta: Hat trick! Triplicity!
