Exactly. I watched a YT video about Vancouver’s issues with stormwater because they paved over land that would have absorbed it. Not sure what they’re going to do about it but it won’t be cheap.

In Calgary growth is out of control to the point new communities have major drainage issues because they didn’t let the ground settle so they have massive puddles of melted snow and the city has to pay to extend all services so far from the heart of the city.

Building houses is easy.

Building houses properly with future considerations is hard.
