Developer Offers to Build Ark for City of Zachary to Escape Future Flood

ZACHARY, La – After purchasing their 2nd 300+ acre piece of property within 2 years, on which will sit nearly 1,000 new homes, the DR Horton company offered the city a gift intended to ease their minds about the guaranteed flooding issues that are sure to follow these 2 enormous projects.
Tonight at a council meeting, Horton revealed this artist’s rendition of the 1,000 foot ark they are having built for the citizens of Zachary to use as a means of evacuation when it floods, much like the one Noah used for animals in the book of Genesis.
Rather than actual wood, the ark will be built out of a cheaper wood-like material imported from China that is guaranteed to start falling apart about a week after the warranty expires.
Tickets for the ark start out at $49.95 for VIP seating and there will be no refunds for anyone who misses the ark on flood day. VIP ticket holders will receive a voucher for $100.00 off their next Horton home purchase provided you can prove you lost everything in the flood.

How do people from Zachary get into BR? 61 to i110? Or is there a more up to date highway that brings them in?

Let me guess, another neighborhood that has 1700 sq ft homes starter homes that are listed at 330-350k

Depends which side of town someone is on.
If someone is on the west side of town, 61 to 110 is probably it.
If someone is on the east side of town, they are probably going up 19 to 110 or Plank to 110 (airport) or Airline.
If 110 isn’t an option, people usually take 61 through the ghetto, past Exxon, to Government or somewhere in that area.

Eh, everything is up to code. The guts of the house are good.
They just cheap out on finishes.

DRH is building thousands of homes in Slidell by the lake snd off Military Rd. I don’t know where these people filling them come from.
Drove through yesterday for the first time. No front yards, houses all the same in top of each other. There was even a second street where a sidewalk would normally go that had cars parked all alongside. Very odd.

Blackrock is buying them all. You will own nothing and be happy, pleb.
The elite overlords know what is good for you.

Makes sense. Maybe I'm getting the area a little mixed up, but I feel like some of those people end up having to go through some gnarly parts of town if they aren't taking 61 to i110. Might make sense to build a direct route of some kind if BR wants to have real suburban growth on the northern side of the parish.

Our first home was a DR Horton special. It was cheap but there wasn't a 90 degree angle in that thing I don't believe.
same here... it did hold it's value, at the time, but yeah, their quality is bottom of the barrel

Those of you that want to stop DRH from building homes:
1. Where do you stand on free market capitalism?
2. Do you think others should be able to tell you what to do with your own property?
3. Do you think government regulation causes housing prices to go up?

So basically any traffic or drainage study
I have never seen a traffic or drainage study presented at a P&Z by a developer that said the development wil cause issues.
I actually asked a developer one time at a meeting had he ever had one that said don’t build it. He said he had not. When you’re paying for the study it’s gonna always go your way.

If it negatively effects the community yes.
Would you like your neighbor to move in dirt into his land that elevates tge land that causes your property to flood?
How about put a landfill in next your property?
Or a pig farm?
I have no issues with zoning laws in incorporated areas.

Tell me you have absolutely, positively zero concept of zoning without saying you have absolutely, positively zero concept of zoning.
Euclid v Ambler Realty was decided and issued by SCOTUS in 1926.
In other words, our Constitution has been interpreted to allow for others to be able to tell you what to do with your own property for almost a century, dumbass.
In fact, Euclidean Zoning is based off the case and is essentially the default zoning standard. Across the world.
So yeah…why don’t you stop talking for awhile. Maybe sit the next few plays out there, Champ.
Grown ups are talking.

No way these future shite holes go for that much anytime soon. I don’t think inflation is to that point quite yet

The signs along the road say they can be bought for as little as $250k.

I am not debating constitutional law or claiming that zoning laws are illegal. This is a philosophical discussion about ideologies and how it does or doesn't uniformly apply.

That's quite a slippery slope you got there.

You are equating a brick home to a landfill?

They are arbitrarily applied and it's still okay to ask if existing laws or regulations meet the standards of freedom we have in general.
One day zoning laws in conservative areas will be yet another conservative thing that crazy arse liberals figure out how to hijack, weaponize and use against conservatives. Book it.
