No functional difference. Two-car, attached garages and no sidewalks. Attached two-car garages aren't auto-lite, they're the same autocentricity you get in exurban America.
If you built a house 40 miles outside of Houston, you'd build the same attached parking. In the Woodlands they're driving to soccer practice, in the Inner Loop they're driving to a restaurant. These buildings add density, but don't functionally change the environment.

Nope, I've been to Houston a bunch of times. And irrelevent. I've also seen the exact same stuff in Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte and Nashville. It's the same story. In-town densification for DINKs and empty nesters where schools don't matter, but no functional change.
