Yep. No zoning laws. Just ordinances. This adds to the point where people call Houston the most unplanned chaotic city in America. Houston as well as a couple others are used as examples on how to not build a city.
Great write up. There are several similar articles that express this sentiment.

These two were written last year.
Flooding? Don't blame dense urban development.
Houston flood control efforts fall behind urban sprawl


This is this year.
Houston's Flood Is a Design Problem

and there are dozens more from different people. These subdivisions built in wetlands, flood plains, and marshes are a major mistake. They nearly did this with South Florida before they put a stop to it.


Climate change and ridiculous development like putting up subdivisions and townhouse/apartment blocks everywhere? This is how Houston gets 3 biblical floods in just three years.:francis:

Been to Houston plenty of times as a child. I still have fam and friends there. Houstons lack of zoning laws it what makes it both endearing and horribly built. The fact that you can see a skyscraper next to a plaza or a gas station makes houston unique. Houtons uncontrolled sprawl is what it is. You got towns like Alief that are miles and miles from the loop being annexed. There are areas on the Southside that are miles and miles of apartment buildings. They're like districts of NYC with nothing but high rises, but instead in Houston they're lowrise Garden Apartments. Houston is fascinating and horribly planned in that way. Do y'all think this storm will change the dynamic of urban development in Houston? Maybe this storm will halt the rapid, uncontrolled growth Houston has seen in the past decade. And maybe that's a good thing.

That explains why, despite South Florida's low lying elevation, and it's position in the center of "Hurricane Alley" it hasn't received a massive flood in decades. This explains it. SoFla hasn't been flooded in a while. Despite the climate change deniers in Fl, the EPA put in WORK in regards to protecting the Everglades. In SoFla, once you reach Florida's Turnpike, it's like reaching the edge of the world, because they won't allow one little structure to be built on the wetlands. It doesn't make sense. And SoFla was better for it, in terms of urban planning. It allowed that linear population density. Yeah SoFla still sprawls, but it's a well controlled, limited and grided sprawl. That's not to say that it isn't a wrap for Miami once the oceans rise, because it IS a wrap. But Miami has time, and doesn't get the complete catastrophic flooding that a Houston or NO gets.
