>>139880350
All those slab foundation buildings that were flooded will have to be bulldozed.

the flooding probably helped if anything. all the niggers from katrina fled to houston so now maybe they'll continue west and plague some other city.

Is it true that most resdients (80%) did not have flood insurance?

Flood damage is worse than fire damage. The only way to really fix the shit is to strip the (assuming wood frame) house down to the studs and dry everything out. Basically take the house down to the skeleton and redo the wiring/plumbing/HVAC/insulation/drywall/interior finishes. It's an entirely new house at that point. Extremely expensive and time consuming.

>>139884722

You're honestly better off tear the damn thing down and start from scratch. Otherwise you could spend all that money and end up with foundation issues later on. Framing lumber is the cheapest part of your house anyway. The big money is in the siding, roof, sheetrock, windows, trim, etc.

They don't need to move, they need to invest in flood control measures.
If you ever wondered why all the rivers in anime look like wide flat rivers with huge banks that's because they are flood controlled.

The existing rivers of the Huston area need a lot of work, and then you need distributed pumps for pulling water from the storm drain system and putting it in the river. A big ass sea wall wouldn't hurt either.

Exactly. It's really not even worth it. The house will basically be "new" but very likely have fundamental issues with the frame or foundation. I would not want to live in a house that had been flooded before, and I know people that do very good flood damage recovery work. It's just not worth it.

Most of these houses will most likely be recovered, dried out, and "fixed". But they'll never be the same and will have lost a lot of value.

Texas has pervasive black mold that fucks you up. Will grow behind the walls from a tiny leak. Plus the houses soak the water upwards like a towel, to an extent. Wood is generally treated, but will still grow mold and begin to rot. Then there is the sediment aka mud. This is where the majority if structural damage truly comes as it will trap moisture and cause wood to warp.

Essentially, they pay 1/10th of the value and take possession of the property. That is after FEMA have the national guard rip your house apart to retrieve a gun safe while you are deployed to Iraq.

Oh yeah for sure. If they aren't dried out properly (most of them won't be) the mold will grow everywhere it's allowed to. I did a structural assessment of a house were just the floor system had been submerged up to the subfloor, and the contractor that was paid to dry it out did a piss poor job. Less than 10 years later, the entire floor system is completely shot from either rot or mold damage. The mold levels were about 10x the PPM that was considered healthy. An elderly couple that lives there was developing respiratory issues and the house was caving in on itself. It had to be condemned and it was painful for me to be involved because these nice old people literally were kicked out of their house because a contractor fucked them over.

What flood insurance? Do you think an insurance company can take a hit in the range of hundreds of billions? No one sells flood insurance to people that live in areas that might flood. At best they might get the sewer backup of a few thousand.

Dallas, San Antonio, nor Austin has a port. There's a reason why Houston will rebound eventually and it has everything to do with petrochemicals and the Houston Ship Channel.

>houston was dependent on the oil industry.
you're literally agreeing with me while saying economic conditions have little to do with ports. I'm not saying oil doesn't have downtrends (which is what you're referring to). But you're severely misinformed if you think the whole refinery industry in Houston is going to move into any area without a port. Just drive down 225 in Houston,Pasadena, Deer Park, La Porte etc... and tell me what you see on your left and right side the minute you exit the 610 loop. This isn't a tech company you can move from California to Texas. Ports are necessary in the petrochemical industry due to offshoring, export and import.

>>139888920
Because A LOT of homes were either damaged or destroyed.
Lots of displaced people still.
But stores are opening back up, things keep moving forward.

Houston is in a weird spot.

Oil is bad right now which has generally depressed prices of everything. When oil was $130 a barrel general five star hotel prices downtown would be $270+ a night and $600+ a night during conventions. It's lower now. Downtown got fucked. A lot of suburbia did too. Building is down since the 2008 recession and a lot of people left that occupation.

On the other hand oil companies still have money to some degree.

It will be a long and painful process but it will eventually recover.

The suburbs, due to the cost of rebuilding, I expect to be a lot less "diverse". Especially if a recovery in oil prices coincides with the rebuilding. Lower income families spreading further and further from downtown is why they keep making neighborhoods sprawling from Houston.

I doubt Houston will go anywhere because of all the industry that's located in/near there.

There will have to be some major infrastructure spending to prevent/minimize future disasters though.

The 1900 hurricane in Galveston is what caused Houston to boom as investors moved away from Galveston, in fear that another hurricane could come along and destroy everything agian.

I heard on the radio 1/16 of residents could actually afford flood insurance. So, I guess they're fucked?

When I lived in CT, along the coast, you had to get flood insurance before they would give you a mortgage. It was about $1200/yr.

Meanwhile, while most of us are busy reading about how fucked the surrounding area is and panicking over a fictional gas shortage, San Antonio's city council quietly voted to remove the Confederate monument in Travis Park.

Fucking cowards.

I wont fully recover ever
White flight was already an issue and the hardest hit area is mostly rich white people.
White population was around 29% vs 28% for black 38% hispanic rest asian arab ect

The rich white people mostly all had flood insurance and they are going to receive a big ass check for their 2 million dollar + destroy homes.
They will leave and buy/build in a new city somewhere else. Probably colorado or arizona

Houston like Detroit will never fully recover from the loss of white people.

>>139885591
Its going to be interesting to see what happens to all the billions of donations. Will probably vanish like the 9-11 funds.

>>139884673
You buy general home and fire, perhaps windstorm, and rarely flood. 100 yr flood plain most people will. But in general i think most average people dont. Windstorm is very pricey in southern tx and more likely so lots of people shrug off flood coverage here.

>>139903423
wtf are you talking about? all the jobs are here in houston. it's always the poor people that move and relocate because their labor is unskilled and easily replaceable. The med center and oilfield companies will still be here, thus ensuring the rest of the higher education jobs being here too. Spics and nigs are the main ones that are going to leave. I feel sorry for Dallas, San Antone is already spic central

will take a long time Texas is really humid makes evaporation take a long time

>>139904370
because it floods and rains a lot down here and even if it doesnt rain the ground water is so close to the surface it seeps into the walls and will crack any basement. any house with square footage below ground level directly lowers its resale value here.

>>139904363
See Detroit
Baltimore
DC
Atlanta
Chicago

Oil jobs are washed up because oil prices have tanked for over a year now
Medical jobs can be moved at any time.
Major corporations will simply move their HQs to Austin

>>139904530
A fully fledged City in the West like Houston I don't think so. Maybe a town that's solely service economy

>>139880779

They'll wait for it to dry and clean up and carry on. Until the next one hits and they act surprised its happening again.

>>139880095
The niggers will move to Austin (hereafter referred to as Aufrica) and industry will rebuild. The port and petroleum industries don't need shitskins.

>>139891359

LINKY? I can only get so erect

>>139905215
Exxon and Shell JUST moved their hq's here. you really think theyre going to spend millions to move again?

Do you know what the med center is? it's fucking huge, it's not going anywhere. businesses arent going to pack up and leave from just damaged walls. but poor people will because they have nothing to lose. i feel like i'm talking to a kid.

>>139880095
Overall probably less serious damage than ike.
It was the flooding that hit hard, not the winds, which means quick recovery, as very little will be torn down.

Houston already stacks highways on top of each other.
Build too low, it floods, too high and the winds get it.
Flooding is safer than winds

I work in construction there is a labor shortage even with white men working jobs now but the problem is they don't have the stamina or endurance to work long hours. Like those pictures of 10 guys just standing around and 1 guy doing the heavy work.

>living in a previously flooded home
>being healthy and free of mold in your lungs
pick one and one only anons.

This is why being a homeowner when you can barely afford a home is such a slave-tier move. You should feel free to get up and move at any time but most people are shackled to their homes like good little goys. When something like this happens the very base level human instinct is to pack up and get the fuck out of that place forever, but these people are forced to stay. Sucks.

>>139907441
Wasn't it like that in the USA before the 1950s? Americans just moved around every couple of years being self employed.

>>139907013
if you don't like how we do shit down here then fuck off back to yankee land you fuckin northerner. go hide in your basement everytime a black guy walks infront of your house or use it as a cuck shed with a peephole in the cieling so you can watch said blackguy fuck your boyfriend

Why can't they shit in the toilet and flush it with flood water from a bucket?

>>139907551
Homes were certainly much cheaper a long time ago, and more people were self employed the further you go back as well. I don't know the specifics but your scenario sounds plausible

>>139907172
The winds get it? Shit here up north we get 70 mph winds like 10 times a year at least.

It floods here all the time. Only difference it flooded everywhere instead of one part of town. Allison did the same thing in 2001, back to normal in six weeks.
