That's nonsense. Houston absolutely has the same problems and many many buildings and home that exist in Houston would also be illegal to build today under city ordinances. The reason Houston doesn't have the same degree of housing shortage is Houston has over 668 square miles of land (1779 square miles for Harris county) vs 40 for San Francisco.
- colinmhayes 6y agoThat definitely plays a big part, but banning high density housing is a major contributor to the problem SF is facing.
- jedberg 6y agoYou're confusing safety ordinances with land use.
- shiftpgdn 6y agoLand use ordinances exist in Houston. To an extreme degree even. But its about how you build and not where. It's defacto zoning.
- imtringued 6y agoGeography prevents you from fleeing bad zoning.
