[quote=Anonymous]To use the Anacostia example, there are no houses on the Anacostia, at least in lower PG or DC. There are huge flood plain areas like Kingman Island, the Bladensburg Waterfront Park, Kenilworth Gardens and Anacostia Park. Someone 150 years ago knew it would be foolish to build in those areas. However, developers in the last 50 years, along with government approval, went along with the idea that it would be ok to build in these areas elsewhere. Simply foolish. Houston will need to rethink its reservoirs and buffer areas, and consider more density to allow the bayou areas to do their intended, natural job.[/quote]
