- rm_-rf_slash 8y agoAbsolutely correct. However that can lead to scores of unique problems on their own, from overdevelopment exacerbating the effects of natural disasters (like the flood zone houses being destroyed last year), to utterly hellish development decisions. I once Googled “Houston zoning fail” with my fiancée when she didn’t believe me that Houston had no zoning laws. We saw an arial photo of a huge skyscraper right next to a low density residential neighborhood and maybe 30 parking spots at best, and we laughed for 10 minutes straight.

- rm_-rf_slash 8y agoIdk why you’re bringing up that California stuff. I was only talking about Houston.
