There they saw a dazzling monument to the success of free enterprise. They saw the city of the future, the last bastion of real economic opportunity, the last place where the American dream was alive and well.

One is anybody who has any sensitivity at all to neighborhoods, and certainly minority neighborhoods, would know that once you remove the church and the school, you virtually destroy the neighborhood. Now this is what the integration is, those who made the decisions regarding whether we integrate or not. Integrate neighborhoods, did not understand was that the school and the church represented a kind of assemblage for recreational activities, and as a result of that, when you pull that out of a neighborhood, people no longer want to live there. They have no sense of identity. They feel alienated from the very roots that they sought to preserve. And when you destroy this, this is as just destructive as housing. Abandoned housing and anything else is once you remove certain kinds of amenities within that neighborhood, you set in motion the forces that virtually destroy that very same neighborhood. And the houses go down too. And the house go down. The city looks at those areas differentially. If an area is black or minority, it just does not occupy a space at the top of the list. And once that's set in motion, then you see you red-line virtually those districts because they're undesirable. You cannot get insurance on your house in those districts. The police will not respond as frequently because they know that because of the characterization of that neighborhood, I don't go in there alone.

The Bayou, as you see it now, is actually at a fairly low-flow situation. However, with six to eight inches of rainfall over the Houston area, the Bayou in the matter of two to three hours can rise 20 to 30 feet, almost to the level of that bridge in the background. Additional things that you can see in the background include part of the Texas Medical Complex. And these areas have been rapidly developed over the last few years, primarily because people in this area feel a certain amount of safety coming down near this large flood control structure. However, what has happened, let's say within the last 10 years in the Houston area, areas west of here out. Toward the Aleve Plain have developed extremely fast, and in fact now the situation is that the laterals, which drain all of the urban developments in close to the bayou, can no longer function as they were originally designed. And very simply, it's a situation where uncontrolled development in the upper ends of many of these bayous, such as Bray's Bayou, is causing very severe downstream flooding problems. What happens then is that the upstream developments are allowed to come in and build at relatively inexpensive costs, and people that live in the downstream area are then asked to accept those additional damage costs. This could have been planned though, huh? Oh, very definitely. Very definitely. It could have been planned from a basin-wide standpoint if, for example, the amount of new development, the amounts of new laterals, the number of new drainage, were taken into account.
