That's because Houston has no zoning.
- natrius 11y agoZoning by use (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) is just one of many land use tools. There are tons of rules in Houston about how much land you need for a building and what you can actually build, as well as restrictive covenants in individual deeds that limit what can be built. We don't need to eliminate zoning, but density-based zoning is guaranteed to cause economic segregation. That's what it's for. We should eliminate it in our central cities and employment centers.
