And build toxic, explosive factories and petrochem facilities in residential areas also in flood zones. cough Houston cough
Residentially, Texas has crap tons of HOAs that forbid even minor changes, so permits don't matter. Texas is also pretty boring, spread out, and requires a lot of driving to do anything. Business-wise, tiny industrial-centric cities would be happy to permit an asbestos factory and an oil refinery beside a nursery school and farmland, and all in a known flood zone. Ask me how I know.
Well there's no pleasing you is there. But if you don't like Texas, it's also easy to build in other states like North Dakota.
