Speaking of zoning ---
Houston had (maybe still does?) no zoning board/laws. Many didn't/don't like that. I like having no laws in a way. Here's why. Even where there is zoning, the zoning board can be bought with the right amount of money under the table for a zoning variance or the right people apply for a zoning variance. The little guy/gal hasn't a chance. With no zoning, everyone has an equal chance. I've seen it happen, time and time again. I'll take no zoning with peer pressure applied.
