Homes look like they are 2' below the road.
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.

Ascension parish can frick themselves off a cliff. My family has been here forever and the wife and I will probably be the last ones with my last name to live on this land. We're going west. frick AP.

My issue with Ascension Parish developments is the complete neglect of infrastructure to support the added traffic. And when they finally do get around to doing something, it's a halfass effort just to say they did something. Take Hwy 73 for example. They went through all that effort just to add a center (suicide) turn lane. Now why the frick would you have Hwy 73 wrapped up for about five years, and you come up with some stupid shite like that? Most of those roads need to be 4 laned from end to end. Hwy 73, Hwy 74, Hwy 621, etc. The stretch of Hwy 73 from Airline to I-10 is going to be a NIGHTMARE at peak traffic hours once everything is back in full swing and you have kids going to the new school.
