Mandatory single-family home zoning means that you are required to rent or own a sizable amount of land in order to live in a neighborhood. This has the obvious impact of creating invisibly gated communities where the less affluent are unable to live there, even if they were willing to live in smaller accommodations, which also means their children may not go to the same schools.
It's literally economic segregation, because it's the government forcibly segregating where people live through their finances.
