aint just BR. Take a ride thru Broussard and Youngsville. Homes look like they are 2' below the road. They stack them in there as close as possible.

Better than what they are allowing in Ascension. We live in a custom home neighborhood on Hwy 73 that was built in 2000. They built a subdivision to the south of us a couple years ago that was built up 18" higher than our neighborhood. Now some of the people that live on that side (thankfully not us) have started having issues that never had a standing puddle in their yards. Its criminal what they are not only getting away with, but making an absolute killing on with not a lick of liability.
I "rescued" a family in Eagle Point on 42 that was still 4' above the water line but had a moat around it that was 10'+ deep and flooding homes around it that never saw water before.
TLDR: New neighborhoods are built up to be high and dry in Ascension, making older homes flood.
