        They had over 50 inches of rain! Name one city that could survive that. No regulation could prevent the devastation

        ...in the weak minority. It is always the 1% minority (that small) that creates all the havoc...just to retain their entitlement.

        Regulations get in way of profits for the rich. Don't like regs? Go visit a developing country. Drive their roads. Visit their sweatshops.

        Thank God we don't have 'rampant, unregulated development' in Bangkok and as a result, no flooding.

        As we don't have in The Netherlands. Can't find a clip, but yesterday on CNN a Dutch engineer told about the regulations in place in Holland

        Part Holland is always under see level, but the problems Houston has, we hardly ever have. Not so much rainfall, ok, better planning helps.

        Why don't we all start calling regulations what they really are? Protections.

        Houston is a flat city riddled with bayous & has experienced flooding in the recent past. Why were builders allowed to build in this area?
