It’s all good until it infringes on areas with money
Ie River Oaks, Montrose, Heights etc
And watch cacs fight tooth and nail to keep development out of their neighborhoods and “zoning” to their liking/benefit
Then you have to look at how land developers just be building shyt to build
So these new booties that’s moving here don’t know about the flood plains these houses are built on until they have a foot of water in there damn house
Infrastructure, drainage, roads are all shyt in Houston unless you reside in a major burb/“upcoming” neighborhood
Not to mention how government officials be on Stevie Wonder mode when it comes to building projects down here as long as they get paid

And i believe they have that exact combination in at least 2 or 3 different intersections that i know of

The convenience is incredible

Can't they make a drainage system for Houston when it comes to flooding?

They better before I move down there :ufdup:
Houston is the city of concrete
Home of bayous
Drainage has always been an issue due to this
That shyt will never be “fixed” because this “zoning” is a bunch of bullshyt
Developers just be building all kinds of shyt that doesn’t flow to anything
That’s why you can be on one block that never floods
Then a street/neighborhood over looks like a complete fishbowl when it rains
Plus Houston is flat as fukk
So if you move here you better do due diligence on neighborhoods, look at what type of construction is going on in your desired neighborhood, find out if it’s in a flood plain, get flood insurance and start trying to find contractors, etc once you touch down
Make sure you network

Didn't watch video my bad. I was just saying yup you can find everything next to everything including in most residential areas. Literally everything you need be within 5-10 min of walking or driving
