There's a lot of asphalt on the ground now compared to the past where water used to go
:facepalm:
So 100 yrs ago, before asphalt and cement roads existed, what caused the flooding then?
Also, do you really think the soils under roads stays completely dry and doesn't absorb surrounding water?
Did any open fields flood?
YOU CANNOT EVER STOP FLOODING ANYWHERE IF THEY HAVE RECORD RAINFALL IN A NON STOP SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, PERIOD!

Of course developments affect drainage. he isn't saying its the root cause, but it doesn't help

His post went over your head.. He was saying new developments have been built on places that were previously natural flood areas.

With enough pumps, floodwalls, and hydraulic structures, anything can be drained.
