I read an eye-opening news article that stated the major reason Houston drowned in that storm is that developers there are completely unregulated, and can build anything they like anywhere they want, swathing Houston in square miles of water—impervious concrete and zero green space to soak up water. We in HRM are heading down the same backward-looking path IMO. I’m sick of this city being a cyclone-street-corner, glass-tower construction zone—it’s time to push back against aggressive, short-sighted developers bullying our City Council to throw the rules out the window. —Semi-off-grid city dweller

So you think more parks would have prevented Huston’s flooding? Really?
Yeah not parks per se but inter tidal zones that act as barriers to storm surges.
Wait a minute, I thought the hurricane was all President Trumps fault!?
