  1. Speaking from a country where we rent out a house and it has been used as an office twice and now it's a kindergartner, and where one house in the area has been converted to distribute LPG gas for cooking, seems like Houston still has a much more rigid planning and zoning than here.

  2. Cue having a church on top of an apartment on top of a shopping mall, next to the office building

  3.  @影山平ら  They also tend to have smaller lots and taller buildings though, compared to southern and western US

  4.  @TheSharkasmCrew   Would say that that's partly due to the Kanto classification. Tokyo prefectural city itself is fairly dense (even when it includes a mountain peak it reaches 13 million population), as well as things like Yokohama and Kanagawa. Although if one were to ignore the rest of it (like Gunma, Tochigi, as well as the more rural part of Kanagawa and Chiba) then their 'metro' population is only like 2/3 the 40 million figure often quoted, making it on par with for example Jabodetabek where I live in (Jakarta special capital province at 10 million, plus immediately neighboring core cities numbers in 16 million, even then there's a good amount of new development outside of the core cities designation)
