Houston and Tampa are pretty similar in number when it comes to ecological disaster potential.

A big difference is the size of the population that lives in the danger area because of Houston zoning. It's the 4 largest city in the US by population with a massive greater city area

Noting there is a difference in population and potential impact is not the same as saying X million lives don't matter.

At least try and engage with good faith.
