On Friday’s Houston Matters: More than 400 homeowners from the Riverstone Development in Fort Bend County have filed suit against Costello, Inc. The plaintiffs argue the firm's flawed design for their neighborhood caused their homes to flood. The firm's founder and former president is Steve Costello, the city's current "flood czar." The suit is the latest in a series of cases related to the storm. Law expert Blake Hudson gives us an overview of the legal and policy issues at stake.
