Reply to comment by KaiDaiz in NYC chief housing officer: The era of YIMBY is here by ToffeeFever

And I'm telling you in the 90 years my family has lived in Brooklyn, they've never experienced flooding in their basement or even neighborhood because they didn't live in flood-prone areas.

But I guess you think that's dumb luck instead of science.

We are talking about people dying, not about toilets overflowing. This is the comment I responded to above:

um not a mere overflow...it can fill up rapidly and in drastic cases totally flooding basements quickly and trapping folks since it's the lowest point of a building,.
