This Houston suburb declared the No. 1 place in Texas to retire

A new study ranks Katy as the best city to retire in Texas. The report, compiled by SmartAsset, cites Katy’s copious amounts of medical care (namely, doctors’ offices) and recreation centers as ideal for retirees.

The website and financial resource examined three key factors to generate a “best place to retire index”: income and sales taxes; the number of doctors’ offices, recreation centers, and retirement centers per 1,000 residents; and the size of the senior population. Four other Houston-area suburbs appear on SmartAsset’s top 10 places to settle down: Richmond (No. 6), Tomball (No. 7), Webster (No. 8), and Humble (No. 9).

Well maybe before Harvey but Cinco Ranch and Grand Lakes both flooded heavily during Harvey due to the backup at the reservoir.

What about the Tax Day storm? Or Allison? These 500 and 1000 year storms are happening every 10 years now.

If that’s true, then how come this is the only time the neighborhoods mentioned have flooded? Harvey is the only storm that ever flooded those neighborhoods and Houston has never seen another storm like Harvey in its history. Both the storms you mentioned, dropped less than half the amount of rainfall as Harvey.

You may not have been around for Allison, lots of Houston has flooded. Houston flooding is part of its history, always happened always will unless voters do something about it.

Yes, but the neighborhoods you mentioned only flooded in Harvey and in no other storm, that was my point.

Grand Lakes and Cinco Ranch are in the "flood pool" of the Barker Reservoir.

So it WILL happen again.
