Two many skyrises, too many people, too many paved streets, and too much concrete. There is no where for the water to drain. There have been houses and buildings built where there was open marshy land for the water to drain. The greedy land developers filled in all the marshes and built on top of them. Now everyone suffers. Florida is too over populated for the fragile state it is. Nature is slowly reclaiming the beautiful land I knew growing up in the 1950s and 1960s.

Born in Broward General Hospital 1958 . Left in 82 with tears in my eyes as the Yankee slickers slinging land and Condos like dope.

And in 20 years of North easterners bring their attitudes and garbage. The place turned into a psych ward
Very well said. Unfortunately we’ve been thinking about leaving our beautiful Florida too. If you don’t mind me asking - what state did you move to? We love Florida so much and don’t wanna leave but the way these politicians make it impossible for us regular folks to live and prosper here - it’s so sad💔
@@colerainfan1143 I did not mention the temperature or rising of the ocean and the water table because I think that is a given. When I was a child, people used well water to irrigate their lawns. In 2000 I noticed that the well water had a funny order and called an inspector to see what was causing it. He told me that my well along with others had been contaminated with chemicals from the ground water, so I stopped using it and depended on the rain. I always wondered if it had anything to do with the water, chemicals, and fertilizers that they were using to irrigate and beautify gulf courses. I also thought it might have been because of all the excessive number of canals and manmade lakes the land developers created with the new neighborhoods they built. No matter the reason, it has all been done by human greed along with industrialization of the entire planet. It breaks my heart that my precious Florida is gone.

All that water means sinkholes on the horizon.
This is insane, there goes insurance rates again. Florida will soon become uninhabitable
It has been since years.

Well said. And the water table is rising, along with the oceans. No good options from here.

Who approves the permits for the land developers to build? Lol the city council officials

Thanks for voting for Ron DeSantis
They should not complain.
Old adage= you get what you pay for!
Another old adage= be careful what you ask for; you might have to live with it!
Vote Trump and he can move weather around with a sharpie.
The weather is heavy rain and floods...so miserable😢, thank you for sharing the videos for everyone to see, wish you health and peace...
Is there no storm drains there or is it just low lying areas that are getting the flooding?
beautiful
And yet nobody has announced where we can get sand bags.
Sand bags won’t save you.
I don't think sand bags are going to do anything in this case unfortunately. It's just funny to be a waiting game. Sorry you're going through this
Is that what you call the ugly ones at the beach??
I was there last year… lost everything! Moved out
Had a home flood know matter what u replace house stills smells . Nice place 2 live but u can only take so much
