No. And I'm not defending a position other than that this was an act of God that could not have been planned for. I can go searching for other dams across Texas in the same situation. But I don't blame developers because it's not their job to set the boundaries for what is considered acceptable risk. That is on the county floodplain administrators, the entities that control the dams, FEMA, etc. to set those boundaries and permit development. In general, that risk should be below 1% likelihood every year. In some areas, the precipitation from Harvey was a 0.0025% likelihood.
Do you worship money and profits?
If you don't see the injustice here, I dunno what to tell you.
Perhaps take another look at your moral compass.
Oh, " It's not my job...." what an out. A sellout's position.
