Opposing Common Sense

http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/local/courier_times/courier_times_news_details/article/28/2009/february/17/flood-plain-tree-block-development-proposal.html

In typical fashion, politicians making a good sound bite over-rides a common sense decision by a land owner.

Yes, I don't want to pay for flood damage to people who live in the flood plain.

But the truth is, if the owner would be allowed to elevate the properties, I won't.

Instead, with no other financial choices, the owner will keep rebuilding without elevating, and we will all pay every time it floods.
