Agree with you, Vaughn. Sadly, we have created this mentality by too often using public money to correct what the homeowner could have avoided in the first place.
We have subdivisions in my area that are low lying and occasionally flood. Just looking around can tell (most) reasonable intelligent adults that water will flow downhill. Unfortunately, after much whining and bellyaching the cities, or counties will pay for storm sewer installation and redirecting of the natural run-off streams.
Methinks the contractors should be restricted from building in low areas and held responsible after the fact. I know that is almost impossible. Most build then move away.
