While it's fair to criticize components of the exact zoning and regulations they have, you can take a lesson from this as an effective system and make adjustments as necessary. It's not perfect but better than the single-family zoning in a lot of cities causing massive sprawl and increased expenditure in roads for commuters.

I can't make sense of this, Houston has massive sprawl and all that entails. They cut costs a bit on roads by underspending on maintenance, but that hardly tips the balance.
