I used to live in Houston, and my parents still live there, and the growth (in construction, not price) they'd dealt with (and enjoyed) puts anywhere in the SF Bay Area to shame.
- codemac 10y agoThat's surprising! I think the big difference between Houston's sprawl and the Bay Area's increase in density is that the style of life your parents lead is probably the same they did before. Do you think that's true?
- hx87 10y agoIt is true, and it is only true because Houston allows free construction with no zoning whatsoever, so even when density increases the rents and property values don't go up that much and thus no one is every forced out.
