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.
Houston has some of the most god awful weather in the country, if it makes you feel better
The absolute worst. Glad i don't live there anymore
