Then why the fuck would u buy it... flooded once, there's a high probability that it'll flood again... don't feel bad that u guys have to fight the flood every year, I wish ppl with those houses didn't get insurance or government buyouts, maybe then they'll be smart and not build/buy houses next to a river that FLOODS ALL THE TIME....for starters, the neighborhoods along the river on both sides are some of the most desirable neighborhoods in town. secondly, you are dumb, and here is why:
the entire city was developed along the river, both fargo and moorhead. it is not like we are talking about 200 houses. stop pretending it is only .05% of the people who deal with this. there was a dike on second street to protect downtown fargo. oak grove already set up flood protection. concordia and msum were evacuated last year. entire neighborhoods were evacuated last year. an evacuation plan was put together redirecting traffic on northbound interstates for fucks sake.
you guys are right, though, it is stupid of them to live there and it is pathetic they are begging for hand outs to relocate and alleviate pressure on the entire population to build permanent flood control. all of them are assholes for staying awake for a month and keeping the rest of us dry. what douchebags.

Do people in Fargo-Moorhead not realize the flooding is mostly due to the growth and development of the land?? In 97, there were way less houses and developed land in the area. And now today, its like trying to contain what once fit in a bowl, into a glass, The water level is going to be higher as it is not spread out... City Developers should have thought of this as they were building, and not after the fact when it is harder to put up permanent flood protection.
And i do think the city should have had a buffer zone where people cant build like so many feet from the river. My parents house is on the river, but its 500 yards through the woods... Yes they had to dike last year, and will again this year, but it is also cause the house sits at 37.5 ft. The only difference is that there is plenty of room to dike.
Some of these houses are built right on the river, with minimal yard space to even think about building permanent flood protection. This year, the dike in my parents yard will be made permanent. It will be rocked and landscaped on the house side, and grassed on the river side. They know it has to be done, and thats part of living where they do. I think if you choose to live on the river like them, you gotta man up and not bitch about it when it floods. it was their choice to move there, and they knew the risks and are just dealing with it and say "it is what it is"
