Naturally, isn’t that water supposed to drain somewhere? Why are you blaming the people who built where it doesn’t drain instead of the people who built where it does? You’re being a little irrational about this.

No. I just believe in protecting the pragmatic rather than the foolish.

You are failing to be pragmatic here. You usually are a logical poster and I value your opinions.
There is nothing pragmatic about flooding thousands to protect a few dozen people that not only live in a flood zone, but live in a legit swap that holds water much of the year.
Ibberville needs to come to the table and work with their neighbors on a solution. That’s a suggestion a lot of parish leaders in the BR metro need to take to heart.
I could say the same about Broome. She’s parish president. Not just mayor of Baton Rouge. If the St George’s school district makes the parish more attractive, it should be supported or at least not opposed. Her priorities are fricked. She can’t even work with Central or St George, so her stepping up to be a regional leader isn’t happening.

Wouldn't the foolish be the ones who built houses on grade in a flood plain? I moved into my new home over a year ago. Before we started building, we checked to see if it was in an area that required flood insurance. It wasn't. I then made sure the area didn't flood in 2016. It didn't. I did my due diligence. Are the people in Spanish Lake under the assumption they are not building in a flood zone or are not located in a flood zone?
