Now do parking minimums and how much they increase the cost of rent for business and residential properties


Strong agree, we need to keep central planners from meddling with what would naturally be built.


What does that mean? What would a city look like that was “naturally built”? How are roads laid out? What about sewage and water? How do police, fire, schools, and hospitals get located and built? Can a person build a slaughter house in the middle of a residential neighborhood?

Which city is more natural — New York or Houston — and why?

Urban sprawl, and it's fucking awful.

Having driven around Houston trust me, nobody wants a city like that. Cities should be centrally planned, because otherwise you just expand out forever in pursuit of cheaper and cheaper land. Until you have to drive 2 hours to get from one side of town to the other.
