    Because of climate change

    "We will raise all road/street beds 4 feet to keep them from flooding"! Is this part of the "infrastructure bill? What about rail lines, over passes, etc.?

    What about subways? Didn't some of New York's subways flood a while back, during the reign of Microscopic Mike?

      what about the roads already 200' or more above sea-level? There's a job for togor. Raise the road going up Pikes Peak, only togor would be able to understand the logic in that.

            Well, me thinks it's just another dumb thing from the democrats. It will never happen! Where I live we are about 700 feet above sea level.

                How will the sewers and storm drains handle all that extra water?

                Reckon its time to start jacking up my house unless I plan on fishing in my basement.

                  A flood sucks. We got flooded when I was a kid. Our SE got clobbered just last week. Australia is flooding now on top of being overrun with rats and spiders. Prior to this is was huge fires. Dang it can be a tough world.
