[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No less regulations! You can't tell me what to do![/quote] That is part of Houston's problem. 1. There is no code requiring detention ponds. 2. Lack of zoning has resulted in an additional 25% of the county being paved over the the last two decades. Pavement forces more water runoff. Also, it's really flat, and the bayous have been widened but not enough. That is not a matter of regulation, but it is a way local and state government affects the problem. A lot of wealthy people have rebuilt homes that stand several feet up off the ground. I am curious to see how they fared, or whether they got flooded out anyway.[/quote]
