I'm seriously calling bull that any alt-right actually fell for this photo. Hey boutons, do you mind linking the actual articles that used this photo? You said there were numerous ones

Really good point. Multi-story development would make a flooding a lot less impactful squarefootage wise.

Mixed use development with retail in the bottom floor. Many places like this is Austin. That kind of development wouldn't leave people homeless if the bottom floor floods entirely.

I can see that kind of stuff going in.

Have you been inside those new AMLI and other "condo" buildings around Burnet and on Lamar? Jesus those things are really nice, especially the high end ones that have corner views where the window goes all the way around the corner. Problem is they overlook graffiti and power lines. They are ing expensive too, you could get a big spread out in Georgetown for the price of those units.

Yeah but then you would be in Georgetown.

Yeah but then you would be in Georgetown.

I don't see a way around that, given the parameters.

I didn't see it much on Twitter. They did spread around the fake story all day yesterday about the (non-existent) Houston mosque who refused to let evacuees in, though.

The $1M is an incredible gesture. Not sure about the other part

and the best public transit for large, high-density cities is underground, not surface. Of course buses and regional light rail play significant roles.

Public, rail transport in USA has been blocked by BigAuto/BigOil to maximize vehicle and fuel sales.

Elevated rail works as well.

Good luck getting the bonds issued though.

Yup. This stuff is definitely targeted at "upscale".

Highlights the need for Austin to have more affordable housing.

If Harvey happened on the east coast

... Cruz would vote against aid for blue states.

I don't believe Hurricane Harvey is God's punishment for Houston electing a lesbian mayor.

But that is more credible than "climate change." https://twitter.com/POLITICOMag/status/902364893940154368 …

Trump Admits President Obama Was Right About "Rising Seas"

Three weeks ago, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that reversed an Obama-era requirement that future construction in areas likely to flood need to be built at a higher elevation. But after the devastation Hurricane Harvey caused in Houston and with Hurricane Irma barreling toward Florida, the White House is now trying to walk back Trump’s order.

In 2015, the Obama White House updated flood-risk standards for the first time since the 1970s, incorporating climate models and sea-level rise into calibrations for building elevations. The new standard meant that any federally funded building in flood plains must be built at higher elevations, especially for critical infrastructure like hospitals and fire stations.

On August 15, Trump erased those standards with one line buried in a broader infrastructure order.

On Friday, Homeland Security adviser Tom Bossert told reporters that the White House might put out another executive order or additional guidance in the next month.

“We shouldn’t use federal money to rebuild in ways that don’t anticipate future flood risk,” Bossert said.

“So we need to build back smarter and stronger against flood plain concerns when we use federal dollars.”

Respectfully:

Ain't no one gonna click on a link that looks like that. That is an invitation to viruses/malware.

".net" tends to lead to all sorts of private severs that are set up for the sole purpose of transmitting such.
