12. BLOG - HOUSTON
• More and more people are moving from rural areas to cities for economic opportunities. The problem with
cities growing is the access to land. Many cities are surrounded by wetlands and/or prime prairie land as such
digging up those areas can cause issues in terms of rain fall management as well as access to arable land for
farming.
• Critics will also blame storms like Harvey on climate change. The planet does go through phases, but it is not
scientific proven those changes are man driven. We need to be very careful that we do push to far with
climate change agenda like Agenda 2030 - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/what-is-agenda-2030
• Many of us are touched by the stories coming out of Houston. I feel for the people of Houston. I do think this
maybe a time to reassess how we handle urban planning including the management of land.
