Your entire argument falls flat in the face that the Texas government has had knowledge that this can and will happen on a semi regular basis but refuse to acknowledge and prepare.

My argument doesn't really hinge on Texas at all. I'm speaking more broadly. Based on the details you're providing (which I didn't have before), there is indeed no excuse for Texas to have let this happen so badly, and some degree of winter-proofing would have been both reasonable and responsible. More broadly, though, there's no sense in earthquake-proofing houses in a city that hasn't seen an earthquake since it was part of Pangaea. That's what I'm talking about.
