Do you think if the record heat and droughts persist, it could negatively affect Houston’s future growth?

If this persists, do you think this could have an impact on future growth for the area. If so, are your thoughts on the possibility that the Houston metro's growth might suffer due to this?

I live in Sugar Land, where at least a couple of lakes near me have a noticeably low water level so if it drops further it's going to be a very visible issue. If we have gotten there already, we are going to get there real soon. Also, I personally know of many people that have foundation issues with their house and that's not cheap to fix if done correctly. After all, there is a local high school that had foundation problems so bad the local school district is about to commence construction on a replacement, so that should tell you something.

I wonder if it gets to the point where water restriction measures get to the most severe level to where people can't water their lawn at all. Dead grass everywhere would be highly detrimental to Sugar Land's appearance and really it's brand as a community to live in.

You also have the broken water mains. Last Monday, the First Colony library, which gets super busy especially now that school started, had to close at 2 PM due to a nearby broken water main. That being said, the effects are being felt everywhere.

What do you folks think?
