Curious if there are whispers (or shouts) in Columbus about the same I go to city council meetings almost every Monday and they are extremely developer friendly and new construction friendly. while there is pressure, I don't think it will ever happen. columbus wants to see economic development and would not place legislation that would restrict the free market in my opinion. right now they are doing the opposite and redoing there zoning codes to allow for higher density and higher height as well as parking reductions. just google "zone in" columbus and you'll see. there's a lot of articles about it. 

I have every piece of land plotted within 3 miles of our target downtown districts in Columbus Ohio and miami florida. we focus on higher density, unlimited floor area, unlimited height deals or at least midrise for economies of scale. when you get to larger deals it gets pretty boring but the money is very easy to pencil and raise capital for 

HI Michael, I'm a huge fan of all things Colorado but I've heard STR restrictions have been tightening..AirDNA and local PM would be a good projection and analysis resource.

Purchase price: $49,000 Cash invested: $3,000 We purchased 5 acres with no deed restrictions or HOA and continue to build out rentals/lots on the property.

Always push for the bidding war, it will push the price higher than what anyone expects due to the competition overwhelm that buyers get and push the property to new heights.

Why would someone consider 77008 (Greater Heights)?

Investors/lenders can have overlays that are more restrictive, but generally can't waive this.

Some areas have conservation easements , you may cut a deal with the local government where if you put a restriction on the property to let it go natural they may pay you . 

Ultimately it is the owner's (your) responsibility to discover all this kind of stuff and make all the calls to the city/county, checking on any restrictions in place.

One attractive factor for me is the recent announcement of the tallest tower planned to be build by 2030 that was recently approved with  no height restriction.
