I was also surprised to see a luxury neighborhood going up in Texas City. Good for them, I guess. It's still pretty cheap relative to other master-planned communities in the Houston area. So maybe a decent investment? Depends on the flooding.
Looks like your typical suburban/exurban neighborhood where they try to bring a beach to you. lol. Dig a hole, fill it with water, bring some sand and .... sell some houses. https://lagomarintexascity.com/lagoon-life/

Blue Bell has already released a statement saying they intend to use the "lagoon" to clean their equipment.
Except this community will have a massive castle and alligator/meth man filled moat to keep out the poor white trash that will inevitably will try to bathe and listen to Skynard on the "lagoon" shores.
In other fun waterpark-related news: Two weeks after NBC's new series Ultimate Slip 'N Slide shut down production because of a diarrhea outbreak on its California set, TV audiences are no closer to seeing it. The Wrap reports that the network and Universal Television have not yet figured out how to make the new show, hosted by comedians Bobby Moynihan and Ron Funches, work without its final episodes, including the finale, in which someone will win a cash prize for their deft navigation of waterpark challenges. And the pressure is on, because it's scheduled to premiere in a prime spot, on Aug. 8, immediately after the closing ceremony of the Olympics. Not only that, but most of the $18 million show had already been filmed — seven weeks, leaving just five days of filming ahead — when up to 40 crew members fell violently ill.... https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment...-diarrhea-shut-down-production-005108668.html
