downtown sits at the center, surrounded by three concentric circles,
which are bisected by highways in every direction. The first loop,
Interstate 610, is thirty-eight miles long, and corrals the Inner Loop
neighborhoods. Another round of suburban neighborhoods surrounds the
Loop, and is bounded by the eighty-eight-mile-long Beltway 8. Then, the
truly sprawling suburbs (Spring, Sugar Land, the Woodlands) surround the
Beltway. All told, the greater Houston area is gargantuan—at over ten
thousand square miles, it’s bigger than New Jersey—and, with upward of
six million residents, it’s far more populous and diverse than outsiders
tend to guess. Houston is also, famously, largely unregulated: zoning
laws are minimal, and the unceasing outward development has, <!-- /react-text --><a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2017/08/25/houston-faces-massive-flooding-harvey-heres-where-its-flooded-past/" target="_blank" class="ArticleBody__link___1FS03" data-reactid="165"><!-- react-text: 166 -->with

drastically inhibited drainage. The freeway system holds the city
together, keeping a huge, dispersed population connected. But in a storm
this lifeline becomes a trap. Houston is flat, and it sits just fifty
feet above sea level; after the bayous overflow, the rain collects on
the roads. When a flood hits, driving in Houston feels like a video game
turned real and deadly. There are sudden impasses everywhere; ingenuity
can’t save you; once the spokes of the wheel go under, there’s nowhere
to go.<!-- /react-text --></p><p data-reactid="168"><!-- react-text: 169 -->Houston is the fourth-largest city in America, and right now much of it
is underwater. Things will get worse this week. Tropical Storm Harvey,
which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane, is sluggishly lingering,
and will continue to pummel the flooded city. Forecasts say that Houston
may get fifty inches of rain from this storm—which is the city’s average
annual rainfall. Five people have died; many more will be injured.

traffic—advised sheltering in place. (In Rockport, the mayor pro tem

As Rebecca Solnit argues in her 2009 book, “<!-- /react-text --><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143118072/?tag=thneyo0f-20" target="_blank" class="ArticleBody__link___1FS03" data-reactid="241"><!-- react-text: 242 -->A Paradise Built in Hell<!-- /react-text --></a><!-- react-text: 243 -->,” disasters create a window into social desire and potential. We’re
normally encouraged to think of private life as precious and public life
as a nuisance, she writes, but “disasters, in returning their sufferers
to public and collective life, undo some of this privatization, which is
a slower, subtler disaster all its own.” Disasters remind us that
ambitious, difficult things are not just possible but necessary; in
Houston, Harvey is already showing how an individualistic work ethic and
a spirit of collective generosity can and have to coexist.<!-- /react-text --></p></div></div></div></div><footer class="ArticleFooter__footer___3-wlJ" data-reactid="244"><!-- react-empty: 245 --><div
