Goodbye Houston!” Houston will be around for a long time: downtown stands about 50 feet (15 m) above sea level, and the highest point in far northwest Houston is about 125 feet (38 m) in elevation. Galveston will go first. OTOH it might be time to invest in some future beach front property in south Houston. LOL.
OTOH much of NYC is 15’ to 25’ closer to sea level then Houston. Trump Tower = Trump Island. LOL.

Err, you know nothing about Houston by writing that statement. We abandon buildings at a rate much faster than sea level rise encroachment; and our ground level is, and has been for decades, subsiding at a rate far faster than sea level rise.
