Thankyou Governor Abbott for saying this. City regulations diminish greatly property rights. Tree ordinances for one. Now cities such as NewBraunfels have implemented water quality runoff regulations from developments that cost a bunch of money and city staff admits that the public benefits from these regulations cannot be determined. Every city regulation should be defined by cost to property owners versus benefit to the public. If you cannot measure benefit to public then a new state law should be enacted to eliminate it. Our cities are enacting ordinances that look like California.
