Not only WILL they flood, it will make it less likely for the rest of BR that uses that area as a sponge and as a pathway to the swamp for the next great flood.
That area didn’t flood in 16.

What area of Burbank are we talking about? I’m not in BR anymore but I recall they razing an area very close to the Burbank soccer fields. That area definitely flooded

This literally has frick all to do with whether a structure or development has or will flood in the future.
If the system that was responsible for 2016 was five miles east, west, north or south…or the low pressure system that caused it to become stationary was likewise positioned a few miles in any other direction…then the system would have flooded our area in similar and yet different areas and ways.
Meaning your point is completely invalid in terms of understanding what the structures being discussed are exposed to from a flood risk perspective.
Tell me you don’t really understand our drainage and the threat of riverine, fluvial or pluvial flooding without saying you don’t understand the threat of riverine, fluvial or pluvial flooding.
Post less regarding this.

More development restricts watershed. Restricted watershed is more prone to flooding.
