Houston is 170sq miles larger than LA but with half the population.

Hope this helps.

Edit: And before we get into "Muh Greater LA area" - Sprawl is about population concentration, not pure numbers.

Anyone who says a disparaging word about Fred Rogers should be cast off into a volcano. That man was as close to perfect as humanly possible.

Maybe the city limits? LA is a massive city that has suburbs and exurbs extending almost 100 miles in any direction (excluding the ocean!). LA sucks ass and is inefficient, and $20,000 to $500,000 is pretty stark. Teachers have cheaper housing than the homeless? Fix your zoning laws morons

Also, Houston has great Vietnamese food. LA is trash

Do they not realise Mr. Rogers was the lone survivor of The Ultimate Showdown?

I know nothing about the guy, but I know that.

It’s about $20,000 the $500,000. Your city government is corrupt in the extreme. That’s the number I care about and population dynamics can’t justify the difference regardless. Contractors are inflating costs, as are zoning laws. This is the major problem with Texas potentially going blue. You guys will make it unaffordable to be middle class here as you did in Cali

Sadly, the national Republican Party is shit, but the democrats are pretty bad at any local level where they’ve been entrenched for a while. The graft and patronage networks make cities like LA look like middle eastern municipalities in terms of governance

Either he's an idiot or we're about to go down a very dark road.

I live in Texas but okay. Houston is a nightmare of parking lots and garbage sprawl, I drive through it all the time.

In the end, the 500k number comes from new construction - that's your problem. New construction regardless of where you are right now is going to be rife with pork and substandard garbage - hell even Trump's giant pork barrel (sometimes referred to as a wall) recently made headlines... because some guys with saws cut a hole in it so big that they could drive a truck through it.

There's tons of housing inventory open in the Houston area and the Great State of Texas is damn sure not building anything new. I had my Grandparent's house in Houston appraised recently and their 1500sqft brick house was valued at about 140k in good condition. A far, far cry from anything in LA and the state can get something like that for pennies on the dollar.

You couldn't even buy a one bedroom condo in Los Angeles for one hundred and forty thousand dollars.
