Cities across North America are financially imploding—not because of a lack of growth, but because of the pattern of growth. Few cities illustrate this pattern as vividly as Houston, Texas.
I look forward to exploring the decoder for a few cities I work with. One enormous liability for Houston that I believe is not included in your calculations is the $20 billion or more in infrastructure investments needed for climate change induced flood risks exacerbated by Houston’s past development practices. The likelihood of massive new federal programs to assist with this need seems pretty low at the moment.

And current development practices.
Did Harris County hire Urban3? That would be news in itself.
I'm not sure if it was Harris County or someone else in that region.
