This monster came a little too close for comfort.

This monster came a little too close for comfort. Yes, there were plans before 2008, but after Ike they claimed they would finally get it built. 12 years later, nope. The Houston area governments keep allowing development in the storm surge zones. They want the tax revenue from all the ship channel industries but won't put a sufficient levy on all the vulnerable properties to pay for the protection. The Houston area wants the state and feds to pay for most of it, and the state wants the feds and the Houston area to pay for it. (Actually the Golden Triangle would also be protected in the last plans I saw, so add them in, too.) And of course the planning process takes forever, while the price tag swells. All the rich owners of beachfront property bitched about their views being blocked. The ones that all of us subsidize their flood insurance so they can rebuild every decade or two (years ago Congress made sure everyone would subsidize beachfront property insurance.) So the plan went back for revision and everything drags on. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-weather/hurricanes/article/ike-dike-proposal-hurricane-laura-marco-galveston-15510840.php By late 2019, the Corps had settled on a double dune system — a field of 12- and 14-foot-high dunes, How well would that protect against a 15-20' storm surge... However, the project’s supporters now fear that even this massive amount of sand might not be sufficient to protect the coastline from a storm surge. Some, including Merrell and Bob Mitchell, president of the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership, have backed proposals for a hybrid dune system — essentially a sand dune with a fortified core made of a clay composite. A hard structure underpinning the dunes could reduce the cost of replenishing sand on the beaches, but environmentalists say that type of dune could contribute to habitat loss for endangered species, such as the Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle. Even if the most recent version of the project is approved — backers don’t call it the “Ike Dike” because the current proposal is far more vast in scope — construction would not be complete for 10 to 15 years by the most optimistic estimates Edited August 27, 20205 yr by clapclapclap

August 27, 20205 yr I quit driving over that bridge a couple of years ago because it's so damn scary and so damn shitty. It's much more pleasant to drive over the one on the loop that goes by the casinos and doesn't really add much more time to the trip through town.
