Well, unless you’re reacting to the free-rider/tragedy-of-the-commons problem of street parking.
He’s basically arguing that, while we don’t have zoning, we do have regulation, which is certainly true. But that doesn’t mean our lack of zoning is a myth. I think he was looking for a provocative headline. But what I most enjoyed were some of the comments, where quite a debate developed. Some favorite excerpts:
Houston still does not have Zoning in the concept that other cities have zoning. While there many development regulations, there is no land use regulations. There are not regulations that restrict what can be built on a piece of land and what that land can be used for.
There is a caveat though, liquor stores and strip clubs can’t be built by schools and platted neighborhoods can have their own internal land use controls.
