    I believe any house built in Florida has the potential of being flooded either by the roof or the ground. The flooding can happen when enough water is unable to drain fast enough? When we moved in our new house city, county, mortgage company, sales, city engineer said your are in X zone and there is no need for flood insurance. 3 months latter water came up to 13 feet of the front of the house and 16 feet to the side of the house and every one tells me this is normal in Florida, and the engineer said if it stands more then 3 days to call 311. The water did go down and I was told I only need to keep the storm sewer free of debris.

    I made good my Escape. I grew sick of the increasing number of homeless, skyrocketing crime and insurance for your home is as much as the mortgage itself. The haphazard manner in which they go about approving development without genuinely looking at lay of the land is disgusting. This not only relates to drainage issues, but with traffic as well. The Divergent Diamond at University could have been entirely avoided had they simply disallowed left hand turns from the eastbound lanes into the Publix Shopping Center. The problem was plain as day but they refused to admit the mistake. People are simply too impatient to drive up to Town Center Parkway and would rather turn into the shopping center which is clearly not designed for that volume of traffic. Lockwood and University is an absolute joke during Snowbird season. The North and South lights from Country Oaks Boulevard down to 59th Street are not synchronized in order to clear the volume that accumulates from the shopping centers. I have a laundry list of others but we won't get into that here. Thankfully I owned a home with the garage which I used regularly because of the roaming bands of bored children during the summer checking people's cars to see if they're locked. But I must admit it was always fun to go to the tourist areas and watch the pickpockets at work.

    Overcrowding is an undeniable fact, easily detectable by construction sectors all over. Perhaps we are not building adequate infrastructure before we uncontrollably bring newcomers - is there a behind the scenes private ( or not) financial motivation? Suggest to 1- clearly identify those recently flood affected areas 2- identify flood control systems AND performance 3- and based in REAL stats (published), a plan of cure and/or building proper flood controls should be developed… In my opinion, its evolution and adaptation to the changes - it has happened for thousands of years. (… Ice age … dinosaurs… wisdom tooth … sun screen… )

      Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comment, George. I agree with your assessment and suggestions. Yesterday I was in the Lorraine Rd & Palmer Blvd. area where the flooding was so awful. The county team was there with a News crew filming, I guess. They were simulating the water flow it seemed and trying to determine factors or causes as to why the water was flooding in that area perhaps. They really do need to come up with some answers and plans to avoid this in the future.

I’m sorry it is my mother used to say money talks bullshit walks and my mother is born 1940 and my family has lived in this community for over 100 years can go back where there was a farm where On Prospect Road and Tuttle my grandmother was a schoolteacher where the fire station is now on Prospect Rd., One room schoolhouse. It was the only one out this way. Parkway was a dirt road at that time my grandparents my father went camping in Lakewood Ranch and went for my grandfather he was born on Manatee River, where they owned the farm on one side of the family I have a picture of him as a new baby 1800 I’m very proud of my heritages. There is not a place for water to go even for a storm. We need to start thinking of the land and not money. Houses are close together. I can put a camper on one side of my neighbor and a camper on the other side and still have a huge backyard and I owned attention on pond behind me I did not have that problem at all. I’m sorry this is too long but I feel that it needs to be said to the public water has to go somewhere. Thank you.

    If you are within 10 miles of any river you are in a major flood zone… This was actually a small rain event for Florida. I am just North of you. Wait until we get the real big one… Water always go down hill into the rivers. The more you build around water the more you will flood.

    • @FloridaGulfCoastLiving
      @FloridaGulfCoastLiving 8 днів тому

      That’s a great question. After any water intrusion repairs have to be made to avoid the growth of mold, especially in Florida. This is where hiring certified people is really important because you need those receipts to show that you’ve made the repairs. The sellers disclosure for a property that’s listed with a realtor Will allow the seller to speak to any repairs that were necessary after water intrusion. And certainly a buyer is going to have an inspection and if it’s a good inspector that will reveal any water damage that wasn’t repaired. There are certainly very good companies that deal with only Water extraction. It’s important to keep photographs and receipts. Thanks for watching. I hope you subscribed.

We were thrown out of Dr Sassano's office. He was 23 days positive and NOT CONTAGIOUS. The staff in his office was terrified! Landing at JFK, the 1st thing I noticed after 10 weeks hostage, was New Yorkers have a very noticeable higher standard of manners and decency. ❤ Manners Matter and we New Yorkers rise. Looking back at DeSantis selecting who got vaxxed and the residents that were refused the vaxx protesting was never aired on the Suncoast news! My experience going through that covid19 disaster tells me that Florida is a fascist state. Because I have disabilities, I received instant care on Long Island where I was repeatedly denied in Sarasota for 10 weeks. Then I flew over the plume 350000 gallons of toxic industrial lake water DeSantis dumped into Tampa Bay. The dying marine life afterwards made national news as they showed mountains of dead fish on 500 miles of Gulf Coast beaches.

The Wilbanks plantation became Pelican Cove in 1984-ish The units are 2 stories on slab. 270 units on 74 acres, 2.5mi mangrove walk. Marina, 7 pools, hot tub pickle ball tennis. Stunning. And PC is a state arboretum and bird sanctuary. If you like living in groomed forest and waterfront, there is no place like Pelican Cove.

      Thank you for your comment, Brian. I would have to agree with you. And it’s happening all over the US with extreme weather events that will change the way. Homes are built and how disasters are handled. I’ve been researching products that can be used to control flooding. It’s amazing what’s out there from sealant tape and inflatable barriers to lightweight structures that can divert water flow on streets and properties. Thanks for watching and I hope you’ve subscribed.

    Hi Susan. So sorry to hear you were impacted, but thankfully not too badly. What scares me is that if Hurricane Debbie was just a category 1 hurricane, what can we expect from categories 2 - 5? Even in the aftermath of Debbie, here in the northeast we had 3 continuous days of rain as well. I hadn’t recalled anything like this in the 15 years in my home. I hope everything is ok with Judy and her family as well!

They were selling at that time in a lower range than other builders that filled a gap for buyers that could buy in that price range. Sorry for your bad experience.

    • @FloridaGulfCoastLiving
      @FloridaGulfCoastLiving 26 днів тому

      Hi Tara, The leaseback options are only on the model homes. After this phase of Wild Blue is sold, Wetherington will have another model in the next phase and then the models in phase 1 are released from the lease period and ready for the owner in the leaseback to occupy. There might be a spec home built which will be further along in the building process. Otherwise it is a custom build from the ground up. The build process is usually 18 months depending on the size of the home. Would you like more info about any spec homes built in Wild Blue?

    Thanks for the video, ladies. One thing to keep in mind is if you’re buying your home for the long term, it doesn’t matter if the market crashes because you will still also be in it when prices rise again and even surpass what you paid for it. This was my experience being in my home for 14 years. That said, sometimes life happens and your plans must change.

      Hi Peter, In the Cottage series, the smaller homes, the lots range from $15k- $30K. In the Lake series they range from $195K - $250K. They will do To Be Built thus the lot price sheet. I am not certain but I don't think there are any completed specs right now but 5 or 6 city homes coming soon. I will confirm and get back to you. BTW, I love David Weekley's style also.
