Residents Against Flooding

Residents Against Flooding's 2016 lawsuit against Houston forced the city to build a $19M flooding infrastructure project that will be completed in 2021.

Remembering the lives lost today 80 years ago, Dec 7th 1941. And all those who sacrificed so much in defense of freedom from tyranny. Grateful for our nation’s Greatest Generation - our WWII Veteran’s. We are all forever in your debt.

@zachdespart .@zachdespart This observation is stunning to hear “out loud.” Nonprofit Residents Against Flooding has evidence of activities that cause & worsen flooding yet authorities look other way, even at state & federal level. They ignore what is happening at great expense to public.

“They created a housing development corporation and sold the air rights over their church. Then they worked out a deal with Arlington County to help finance a 10 story structure that has 60 percent of its units available to people who earn less than the average median income.”

What if houses of worship helped build more affordable housing? And what if flood prevention (basins/drainage etc) was included. A win-win? https://t.co/WNkOrDxhJI

That would obligate them to offer a solution to the local problem they either caused or exacerbated.

That would be awkward.

Mayor also appoints those with serious conflicts of interest to TIRZ boards, overseeing how tax dollars are spent - to benefit their developer interests #ResidentsAgainstFlooding

BREAKING: Following outcry by former Housing director, @txglo finds @HoustonTX process to award Housing dollars is flawed, subjective and needs correction. Specifically cites discretion in awards by Mayor’s office is at issue. @abc13houston

County Commissioner Adrian Gargia thinks it’d be okay to change projects that we voted for with the bonds. Though he withdrew his proposal, this kind of thinking is scary. Even for Halloween. How do you feel?

Houston is made more vulnerable to flooding by county/city officials disregarding evidence of flood map tampering that allows development in floodways. Guess fear of exposure as being fooled into permitting such projects outweighs ruining lives & property. @HoustonRAF

[E&E News @EENewsUpdates]

Nearly a quarter of the nation’s road miles are at risk of becoming impassable during a flood, according to a groundbreaking new study that documents the surprising vulnerability of key U.S. facilities such as roads, hospitals & power plants to flooding.
