"When is someone going to take responsibility for all the building going on within the areas that were previously flood plains?"

That, of course, means interfering with the 'Free Market' - and we can't have that, can we? We elect the politicians and then they work as hard as they can to make rich people, like property developers, even richer. We can't let 'little things' like lives, livelihoods, sanity, logic etc., etc. get in the way of this sacred mission.
