They are 40’ above sea level,thier highways are built high for double use as dikes,the streets are built low in order to funnel the water out.

Everybody from California escapes to Houston,paves it over by creating massive subdivision sprawl so the water has no place to drain and blames it on climate change.

They say climate change is accelerated by humans but they are not looking at the “climate change” that they are directly creating.

In Fl were we are closer to sea level,you cannot develop anything anywhere without providing a retention pond equal to the amount of space you are placing a structure or parking lot on.

It gives the water a place to go and be naturally filtered before it enters the ground water and drinking supply.

We hear it a lot here also,people complaining about development destroying the quiet life they escaped to,so you moved out in the sticks in order to get away from the crowd while at the same time creating the exact same thing you moved away from.
