God forbid your city becomes like Houston. Nobody wants to live there, everyone’s getting out of there and moving to California.

  I can sense the snark from here, but from an outside-of-texas perspective Houston seems to be alternating between being underwater/flooded by a hurricane (Harvey), or frozen and lacking in basic electrical services because the grid can't meet the demand. California sure has a lot of problems as well but people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

    California has power outages way more often than Texas has, in fact it has widespread rolling blackouts right at this very moment. If Texas is a glass house, then California is really a soap bubble. But this is beyond the point: none of this have anything to do with the topic of conversation, that is, zoning and urban planning. The truth of the matter is that, despite the Houston being widely panned for this on HN, people nevertheless flock into there en masse.
