The rain isn’t heavier than years ago. Not saying there isn’t climate change or rising water. But what HAS changed is that the sewer system is much older and not being maintained! Write to your Councilmember’s and push for scheduled catch basin cleaning and sewer upgrades. They keep building and bringing more and more people and not making sure the infrastructure can handle that!
If people would throw their trash away in a bin & not the street... THAT'S the main reason things flood...
Instead of opening free supermarkets, Madummy should fix the sewers and storm drains.
Is always someone else's fault or problem right? Buck never stops at the mayor.
Jesus loves y'all stay safe
Have a blessed day 🙏
They need to clean the storm sewers I use to see them doing it special machines clean the sewers but I haven’t seen this done in more then 10 years
Cut from the budget to pay for hotels for the unhoused...
