I think this is what GP was referring to: https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/Neighborhood/deed_restr.html https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/Neighborhood/deed_restr.h... From a YIMBY/increased density advocate point of view, it sounds to me like it has a similar effect to zoning in preserving low density single family home neighborhoods.

Deed restrictions exist in all 50 states. There's nothing special here. They even have them far, far outside the cities. I know a guy whose neighbor's property has a deed restriction preventing cattle grazing within 200 feet of a neighboring property's water well (even if the grazing isn't on their land).

  Yes, it is very common for there to be housing restrictions. Thats the entire point and is what people are saying is the problem! Therefore, in order to allow the building of higher density housing, those regulations, whether they be actual laws, or deed restrictions, need to be removed.
