Ahhhh—good ol’ New Town...I can only wonder what the pretentious new residents of this rich, silty, bean field neighborhood think of thier property values slashing to about of 1/5th of what they were “SOLD”. Does not common sense tell you to take a long hard look at this flat previously flooded plain and think “not a good idea”. I wonder how many people from St. Charles actually were stupid enough to buy into this opportunistic idea of a “wet” Mayberry. The Volvo and BMW crowd lined up to take a nice big mouthful from Whittaker without using that lump 3 feet above thier butts! I grew up on top of Mamelle Hills which is located up Fox Hill Rd overlooking the frequently flooded fields and almost fell off my chair when I heard that these fools were actually going to buy into a flood prone bean field neighborhood. I’ll tell you, I can hear the farmers that sold all this land -— “there truly is one born everyday”-—idiots (at best). Call the office- you won’t be in for awhile-and don’t forget to take frequent breaks while sandbagging-—fools!!!
Why fault the people who bought...and not those who sold them the land without full disclosure of flooding possibility?
Were any waivers of responsibility signed?
Like your remarks about New town. The people their do walk around with an attitude. As of today I believe the value of the housing stock just dropped 25 percent.
I will go down and take a look see, maybe a couple pictures .
