Lack of insulation is why all those pipes froze when that cold snap came through Texas in 2020. Lack of flood planning is why Texas's coastal homes flood out every 10-20 years. The lack of statewide rules for home construction just keeps fucking them but they don't know any other way to live.
Building 100's of thousands of residential buildings that cannot even survive a once in 10 year events without massive insurance subsidies and FEMA assistance is peak Texas. Half of of the suburbs in Texas are going to be abandoned by mid century once 110-120 becomes the norm.
I’ve mentioned it before but I used to live in a reservoir they literally built to hold water and they kept building housing in it despite it making the area worse at its job. Even after harvey and some articles about how the building was detrimental to flooding, they’re still throwing up new houses in it rn lol
