If you can't go higher than ... 3 foot and your property's majority 4 foot low, it's not that you're going overvalue that property. Nobody's probably going to fool with it, which means nobody's going to want to buy it because you can't do anything with it," developer Frank Fudesco told parish officials at the April public hearing. "And if you can or you attempt to, there's so many unknowns of what it applies to, who it's going to apply to, what building it's going to apply to."
no one wants to buy low land? Really?

Those only apply to families trying to develop their own land. The developers will just pay the right people under the table to get a “variance” and never have to meet any of that.

Imagine if every house pad was less than 3' high and could control how much rain falls!

Quick question, do you guys in La, have a sand base like Florida, or dirt base ground surface?

They need to. There isn’t any type of drainage improvements being made. Just setting up neighborhoods everywhere so the water has no where to go and neighbors flood

Good. These f%cks, along with their cronies in local governments (along with subsidies from the federal flood insurance program), have created flooding problems that never before existed.

Pier-and-beam, chain wall or other methods of construction recalling Louisiana's roots in elevated building are now expected to become more prevalent and necessary in large parts of Ascension. The prospect of that change and the added costs tied to it brought opposition from builders worried they make it harder and more expensive to build in the parish.


Anybody that bought a house on slab in Louisiana is an idiot. There is a reason why all the older homes in Louisiana were built off of the ground.
