I’m not arguing with your post, just one of your sources.
I live in Houston and was really interested in what that article has to say, because based on your comment, I thought, “Am I wrong? Was I misled by bad information and failed to do my due diligence?”
Nope, that article about Houston flooding is absolute trash.
One of his points he’s like, “I don’t even know what that means.”
One point he argues more green space would lead to more paved surfaces and then doesn’t really explain how that supposedly works.
Another point he says something along the lines of, “Like, I guess an argument COULD be made that some people were impacted because developers built on a flood plain…”
GTFO with that bullshit article.
Yeah, Harvey dropped more rain than the land, that was overbuilt, could have absorbed, but that was just one of the contributing man caused factors.
There was always going to be flooding from Harvey, but it was WAY worse than it should have been if proper planning had been used. But Houston, like Texas as a whole, seems allergic to zoning and real urban planning development.
Developers always have been and always will be happy to build anywhere, and cut every possible corner they can, as long as it stands for the for the 10 years they still have a warranty.
CIVIL disobedience. You can’t give them an excuse to escalate. They do dumb shit, they look terrible on t.v., but the moment a protestor crosses that line, it’ll be plastered everywhere and used as an excuse for escalation.
Fuck ICE.
