Well, if LA of all places can boost density and build up a downtown, I'm guessing Houston or any other city can. At least Houston appears to be capitalizing on areas with the best chance of becoming more walkable, like downtown, midtown, Med center, and uptown. It seems ridiculous that some cities want to creat new developments in the middle of nowhere (usaually off the expressway) and add a few residential building and assume it will become walkable.
