It sounds appealing to have no building limits. How about if I want to start fraking on my land near your land? Cities in Texas like Dallas don't like this, so they passed laws saying you can't have hydraulic fracturing on the land in the city, because it causes small earthquakes and could cause pollution. Guess what happened, the state legislature passed a new law saying cities couldn't pass laws against frakking.

...and that's why Dallas was swallowed up by a great crack in the ground.

Dallas wasn't swallowed, but they have been having small earthquakes where they used to have none. It's much worse in Oklahoma.
