Any ideas on good cities in Texas?

Case in point, in 2017-2019 while facing a severe housing shortage, Minneapolis enacted its 2040 Plan, becoming, “the first major U.S. city to end single-family exclusive zoning, opening the door for developers to build multifamily buildings on lots where a single-family home used to be (NBC).”

Anyway, the 2 cities I am interested happen to be in states with HIGH property taxes.

There is plenty of affordable housing available right now , the problem is that no one wants to live in the cities where its located .

I have been investing in Kansas City and St Joe since just before the pandemic.

Worcester, Massachusetts' second-largest city, is popular due to lower entry prices and strong rental demand.

I just think it is vital to have some boots on the ground in the city where the investment property is, especially for smaller operators. 

Good or bad for the City of Philadelphia and more specifically the real estate market?

This city is just starting to expand with lot more newer builds coming soon and also closer to my primary home .

I would go back to that company as you are doing and reconcile this, bring plans, drawings, the license number and permit number with you to make sure you show you are doing it all within the city regs too so they can get you back online.
