capitalist, please go re-read all my posts on this topic. I haven't blamed a road. I've blamed unchecked suburban sprawl allowed by the city, while at the same time not recouping costs from the developers or new buyers in order to build a new water run-off plant to handle all of the new runoff created by these developments.

I realize your screen-name means that you think that's how the world should run - some developers get filthy rich while the rest of us pay the cost, both financially and physically (drying out our basements) but there are some people who see the unfairness in this model of development and would like to see it change.

the RHVP will be brought up time and time again in future floods because some genius decided it would be a cool idea to build a road through the main flood plain that handles water from hundreds of streams and rivers on top of the escarpment. The real flood culprit however, is the last 30 years of partially paid for sprawl.
