    Since the 1950s, nearly 88 square miles of wetlands have disappeared in the Houston area due to development http://cbsn.ws/2eGxZMe pic.twitter.com/xnGGdwVI6i

        I don't get it. If you build on wetlands, you are ASKING to be flooded in the future. Don't the developers and planners have ANY foresight??

        It's all for money, people buy the homes and banks collect on the mortgage even if the home is destroyed you still owe the loan so who wins?

        Concrete, the warmth of the Gulf of Mexico caused this #epic storm & #flood! #ClimateChange is evident on a daily basis. It's getting worse.

        This,over development, causes many water problems. We need more grass and less blacktop.

        @TB_Times @tbt Tampa Bay should be worried. Miles and miles of condos built on the Gulf of Mexico. Shore acres all flood during rain storms
