23. We need zoning with teeth.

Townhouses should never have been build in certain places.

Houses have been build in flood prone areas.

My old neighborhood and other old neighborhoods were built with common sense.

My neighborhood is well over 100 years old.

Houses were built in yards on blocks.

Water would go under your house not in your house.

You cannot pave over a swamp.

Houston is built on a swamp.

Mother nature will have her way.

We need to grow but with planning and common sense.

Money was doing to much talking.
