[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Climate change is the biggest problem here. The severity of storms are causing lots of flooding in areas across town. Unfortunately this is just something we as global citizens have done to ourselves, and now need to deal with. Here it's flooding, elsewhere it's fires, or rising sea waters. Just another sign of our "new normal".[/quote]

Except not keeping culverts cleared cannot be blamed on climate change. Ditto high density development when there is no plan to deal with water (we have this problem in parts of Fairfax Co).[/quote]

Apparently climate change causes people to litter, and clog storm drains with discarded empty water bottles. Because they were drinking water, because it was hot outside.

Yeah. That’s probably it.  :? [/quote]

I didn’t say climate change isn’t a thing. But there are actions people can take, systems that have been put in place, to alleviate some of the immediate problems.[/quote]

Not littering and filling the storm drains with discarded bottles would be a good start. [/quote]
