So much concrete, so little soil exposed for water absorption. Few retention ponds. Flat terrain near sea level. It floods. Not for weeks or months like NOLA, but enough to destroy habitability. Contractors will get rich on FEMA, SBA, FHA, and insurance.

There will a terrific hue and cry to improve drainage and make zoning restrictions. Both are costly so in two or three years taxpayers will balk.
