Houston doesn’t have zoning. And both Houston and Austin both don’t try to restrict housing development like California seems to do. Permits are relatively fast to get, land is plentiful and you don’t have nonsense like how San Jose turned 1400 acres of empty farmland at Coyote Valley into an open-space preserve. (Not opposed to open space, but that 1400 acres was literally just empty fields when supposedly the Bay Area has a “housing crisis.”)
