Too bad Houston's earlier leaders lacked this common sense. Basic zoning is Civics 101. Less important cities have done it with relative ease to enhance quality of life or at least make it more manageable. (Houston is similar to a NASA pit crew that can do the most complex engine work, but struggles to replace a flat tire, don't some of you think?).
The city of Houston shouldn't have even put it up for vote. They should have put in zoning and be done with it. That's me though.

Houston doesn't need zoning. It needs a form based code.

As for those two videos. The Houston one did a better job of making the city look more unique but less colorful. The Dallas one was more colorful but very Anywhere USA.

Those videos make the two cities look like almost the exact same place.



In other words, both are pretty accurate.

If a person had never heard of either city, the Dallas video would be more interesting. ......just going by the video's.

Pfft. The Dallas video shows you a city that's trying too hard to disassociate itself with anthing that's related to Texas. I didn't see anything in that video that I wouldn't be able to find in another city.

I like Dallas but not because of anything that was shown in that corny video. Neither Texas city is good at showcasing its unique attributes.

Houston video should have filmed the Galleria when it was open. The shots were of it empty inside and there were some public space shots with no people/activity. Other than that it's a pleasant video.

I have never liked any of the Dallas promotional videos. They all just seem cheesy to me.
