Houston’s rampant development and lack of any government regulation whatsoever (all in the name of affordable housing, compared to regulated places like cities in Democratic states) and destruction of natural environment to build housing contributed to the scale of their disaster.
Hope they will consider better design and more government oversight when they rebuild.
Places like Mumbai though, with corruption and lack of regulation is on another scale altogether, and it’s scary to even contemplate what will happen there.
