It looks like at least 100 houses that have gone up in less than a year.

Those have all gone up in the past 3-4 months. They’re moving at a blazing fast pace. DSLD mass production

Because they are the shoddy cookie-cutter type houses that pop up all over for the past decade and a half.

Cookie cutter assembly line houses designed to be built quickly.
And Latino labor doing what they do

Great starter homes. Got mine for $209k 3 years ago and selling for $260-270 now. Don’t regret a thing

They have to get them built and sold before the next flood.

Not only WILL they flood, it will make it more 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.

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

The bottom lands and the soccer field area flooded. The subdivisions east of Bluebonnet did not.

You mean the shoddy homes with <$150/mo electric bills during the summer and are easy to cool to 72° even when it's 100° outside?
