    Florida does the same. Shortly after moving out of the state, we heard from a friend still there that a builder was approved to build 500 new homes in the wetlands around Northport and port Charlotte. For those that don’t know, the current homes already have major flood issues just from normal rain and are underwater every hurricane. This is just making it worse.
