If you are wrong, then you are simply wrong.  

And a onetime resident, I can say flatly, you sir are wrong.

They were (and are) doing what could reasonably be done to deal with the high likelihood of massive flood events in Houston.  As an outsider, who has only read at most a few articles on the subject, you could not possibly be aware of all the different projects which each of the Houston flood districts have done over the years to mitigate this current flooding event.  Those who actually DO know, have pointed this out to you, but you persist in your political diatribe.  

You continue to try to make his some kind of a political failure, and link it to your general view of conservative America, without the slightest idea of what the current political climate is in Houston, (it's mayor was a gay female until recently for instance) or even what the particulars are about ANY of this prejudicial opinion of yours.

Again, this does not reflect well upon your character.
