[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No less regulations! You can't tell me what to do![/quote] That is part of Houston's problem. [b]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. [/b]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] That's insanity, and I didn't realize that's what's occurred there. We've lived in low lying, southern cities before, but all had retention ponds and zoning regulations.[/quote]
