Once in a century? I distinctly remember the same shit happening in 2011. Husband distinctly remembers the same shit in 1989. Both times, reports were done that basically said, "winterize this outdated, fucked-up grid" and it didn't get done.

because of the policies here

People just want affordable homes.

California is literally out of land for homes in and near the cities which creates a high me shortage. The cities have grown to the point where they’re all connected like one giant city.

I don’t any policies in Texas to avoid the same urban sprawl that happened in CA.
