Doing away with codes also sounds like Houston, which I'm told has no zoning
code.  Perhaps some problems are worse there, but perhaps some are better.
In any case, it has been growing rapidly, and Enron notwithstanding, is
often cited as a great place for business and a decent place to live.
This is the problem with people not knowing history or having traveled much -- go to Houston -- I think the operative part is "great for business" -- tell me if you want to live in a sprawling, polluted, no social services, polluted, freeway dominated [yes, even more than here], crime ridden, polluted city.  It's a lovely place.   Thoughtfully planned cities don't just happen...  and the beautiful cities in Europe are those which have had thought put into them...

Diane Wiley, in lovely Powderhorn where the lack of the previous homeowner following codes has caused me no end of expense and problems for 22 years
