Houston is gaining hundreds of thousands of people. They need to build even more to keep up.

How is that possible? Houston has some of the most lax zoning laws in the US. If housing shortages are caused by zoning laws, why does Houston still have a problem? Is it possible that housing shortages are caused by more than just zoning?

One city cant overcome the shortage the rest of the country creates. People are moving to houston because it is among the cheapest big cities because theyre actually building new housing. Houston is working on catching up with demand but it takes time. We have underbuilt for decades, this isnt something that can be solved instantly.
