[quote=Anonymous]Fairfax county built, at some expense, a dyke to reduce flooding in Huntington. It would have been cheaper to purchase the property in the long run because there is no continuing maintenance. However, the housing in question was low income and there is no where for these people to go. So it's a problem the county doesn't want to address correctly. Flood plains also change and what was once developable land may not be anymore. Or developers grease the wheels to build in the only remaining and cheap land--flood plains. They just need to get the property rezoned.[/quote]
