No reason they have to take the impact of EBR reckless development.
One could argue that building in Spanish Lake is reckless development and is holding an entire natural watershed hostage

Not really an argument. It's a fact. It's far more reckless than developing an area uphill from a swamp.

Yes and I agree with what someone said earlier that Ascension built Spanish Lake Primary there as well as allowing all of that new development west of Bluff Road.
If I remember correctly, there was a good bit of opposition to AP closing the locks at Bayou Manchac and draining Alligator Bayou where there was a boat launch and swamp tours. There reason for draining that area was solely to allow development west of Bluff Road. I have a much bigger problem with the decisions AP made to steal the land that provided natural drainage for several parishes, including EBR and Iberville.
The Iberville Parish President is trying to protect his constituents whose families have lived there for hundreds of years and did not flood until AP drained and blocked off Alligator Bayou. AP was allowed to do that when everyone knew that there would be consequences for the region as a whole.
