The year is 2007

A lot is simply a plot. A lot is essentially considered a parcel of real property or immovable property. Cities often introduce zoning policies to preserve some aspects such as semirural establishment. Usually, most towns put the minimum at half an acre.

Answer: 2007.

Explanation:

In 2007 a bill was presented in Texas Legislature attempting to limit the possibility of cities to regulate the size of lots and homes. IT was aimed to address the issue of the so-called McMansions, meaning big houses of over 3,000 square feet. Important property developers tried to make the state legislature pass a law to stop cities from enacting ordinances preventing the development of McMansions. The bill eventually failed.
