Lord Businessman II: Right, it is not for nothing that we're better than most major US metros on this score, we build, but its not Mad Max, nothing is regulated build whatever land as is commonly portrayed. What we do isn't even that extreme

Regret to inform you that Stiglitz is NIMBY scum

Houston, a land of a great many HOAs, is so far from a Madmax Building Hellscape but it behooves everyone in the debate for various reasons to act that way. Mostly what we do here is pretty mild, all told

I mean we do build. I will give us that. But so many restrictions built into neighborhoods it is hard to take any of that stuff seriously.

I think it’s a common misperception partly because so many big cities don’t build much. And it always seems so exotic to say “no zoning”.
