That's what happens when you build a city in a swamp.

I don't follow. Lots of good cities are built on swamps.

Part of the reason Houston resembles a bug splattered on the windshield of a car is because it is in a swamp.

Maybe like 5% of the reason. The main reason is because of motorist urban design. Otherwise Chicago, Berlin, Moscow, etc. etc. would be the same

For what its worth, DC was also built on a swamp.
