Q: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,425162,00.html Ouch! The former state senator who wrote the law had little sympathy. "We're talking about damn fools that have built houses on the edge of the sea for as long as man could remember and against every advice anyone has given," A.R. "Babe" Schwartz said.
A: Building codes change through the years alot of what you saw in Galveston and surrounding areas were not under the same building codes that were orignally imposed on the islands that surround the bay area. With every weather event new codes are imposed and we make improvements. With that said if you notice the attitude from islanders is I built near the water and I knew I took this chance. They will rebuild and come back better and stronger than ever. That's how we role in Texas!
