Also note this is the older style of lifetime shed. The newer style might be worth waiting for, when it goes on sale.
Mine requires one for any "structure" over 100sq/ft, so I'm aiming to get a 12'x8' to stay just under that limit.
YMMV.... Check with your town, if you are unsure.

As for the flood plains in Houston, this is not an example of regulation being a solution, either. People love to blame the lack of zoning laws, but that is flat out wrong. The real problem is that the government of Texas and Houston has failed to build sufficient drainage, despite knowing for more than a *century* that the town is built on a flood plain. No amount of zoning laws will change that or improve the situation.
Both are failures of governance, NOT markets. There is no free market in Texas.
But there should be no bailouts, on that I agree.

Here is the link to the 2.5 foot extension at Walmart, not on sale:

But just for comparison, you can buy the 12.5 x 8 lifetime shed from walmart, not on sale, and then just buy two of the 2.5 foot extensions to resize it up to 17.5 x 8. The 12.5 x 8 is sold out but walmart's regular price is just $1,144.43, so you are still saving even though it's regular non-sale price. But keep in mind, this is not a dual entry.

My main point is that you should not be wowed by the bigger dimensions of Lifetime sheds, because that's just a matter of adding extensions in these modular lifetime sheds.
And for comparison, here is a picture showing the update styling of the newer models. I'm holding out for another sale on the 15 x 8 dual entry in the updated style (it was already on sale a month or so ago):

Regulation isn't inherently bad, but neither is it inherently good. The are countless examples of bad regulations that directly harm consumers. Legal monopolies, such as cable companies from the 70's onward, oligopolies we still see happening, the food cartels enabled by the New Deal--all examples of bad regulations that harm people. Also all examples of how politicians on both sides of the aisle routinely sell out their constituents to their corporate connected friends.
Cronyism, in other words.
