You say that like vastly increasing the productivity of our largest cities is neutral at best. This would create an extraordinary surplus, and other cities that can build out would compete for citizens, just like Texas is doing right now.

No city in Texas is dense, its all sprawl, even in liberal Austin.

I looked into this and Texas still has a lot of pro-sprawl policies, such as mandatory parking minimums.

People paint them as no zoning, but that's only on one specific measure.
