Who will benefit from Houston's proposed new floodplain regulations?

A recent Public Works analysis estimates there are more than 13,000 homes that are "compliant" with the city's current elevation standard for building in floodplains, meaning houses in this flood-prone area get built at a pace of about 1,085 per year.Of the 12,472 "compliant" homes for which the city had solid data, 38 percent flooded during Harvey.
