People give Los Angeles and Las Vegas a lot of shit for being uninhabitable wastelands, but Houston is 1000x worse. The entire city is built on a paved over swamp that tries to reassert itself everytime there's a heavy rain (i.e. multiple times a year). Too little water is a much easier technical challenge to solve than too much water. Not to mention that the sprawl makes LA look like Tokyo.
