This article was published a couple of day back and had forgotten about it. Houston had ample opportunities to reduce the impact yet they were for no regulations.They got what they deserved.
We already knew how to reduce damage from floods. We just didn’t do it.

The nation has not been particularly good at learning from past floods, which have occurred with discouraging frequency. This time, we need to actually fix some of the problems. If we don’t, Americans facing some new devastation in the future will be looking back at Harvey and wondering why we didn’t act now.
