The only planning going on was how much money can we make and how fast?

"I remember South Africa in the late 70's, sleeping on the beach at J-bay, smoking ganja with the blacks. On weekends we'd go to the pub in East London to drink beer and fight with the Afrikaners. They liked to fight, I liked to fight. It was a good time"

"At the national scale, the tensions over balancing development, safety and environmental quality were on display earlier this month when President Donald Trump, in the name of accelerating infrastructure improvements, revoked a 2015 executive order from President Barack Obama establishing reviews of flood risks before the approval of federal funding for housing or other construction projects.

The move was widely criticized as threatening the very infrastructure the president claimed to be trying to revive, including by the R Street Institute, an organization pursuing Reagan-era approaches to cutting disaster risk and preserving the environment.

The most vocal group cheering Trump's decision was the National Association of Home Builders, which had fought the Obama plan."

"Scientists warn of more and expanding "bull's-eyes" as Americans build in parts of the country at ever greater risk because of climate change and severe weather."

Viera is not in a major floodzone, how did that happen?

Romans 8;18-32 John 3;16-18

Duda carved out canals and drained the wetlands, sure it cost him some fines, but they were nothing compared to the profits he made. Drop ten inches of rain on the place and tell me it's not in a flood zone. The same can be said for medical city in Osceola County. I watched them plow down the Cypress Stands, then truck in cubic miles of fill dirt; the medical area itself will be fine due to the increased elevation, but the lower areas around them? Whew, that will be ugly....the water has to go somewhere.

The same is happening along Beeline, the Cypress Stands are being plowed down and I expect the fill will be coming in soon.

Wetland are there for a purpose, the more we screw with them, the more we will pay in the future.
