        Why are people allowed to build in a flood plain? Why are people rebuilding in areas where they have already experienced flooding?

        A major problem is Texans don't believe in climate change or building codes. Why do we have to pay for those flooded several times already?

        Houston was probably better able to handle that much rain better than any other city. They will rebound and be HOUSTON STRONG!

        Look i like most of you articles. But you are way out if bounds on this. No city in the US can prepare for 50" of rain in one weekend.

        Yes, greed leads to lax regulations. Unfortunately now the loss is far greater than the gain.

        A: UNEQUIVOCALLY, YES. The Q should be: after experiencing citywide flooding May 2015 & April 2016 did Houston ignore writing on the wall? https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/903152894622519296 …

        I don't see the problem, they are trying to consider all factors that could have contributed to the mass flooding of Houton
