^Agreed. Dallas though at least has some form of regulations in the first place. Houston just lets you build wherever and however you want. Our tunnel system is far more extensive than Dallas, and as expected, our street-level retail is in far worse shape than Dallas. The direct correlation is there... you can't bury your businesses and expect to have pedestrian activity in downtown. I salute Dallasites for at least being more progressive about a phase out, and I hope Houston would do the same.
