The state is full, they need to put a serious hold on all major developments. Crooked county politicians are creating a serious problem here in the entire state
VOTE BLUE and research the candidates. maybe get off your Instagram accounts long enough to know what's going on in your town.......behind your back......or even in front of you.....
Been happening for the past 70 years ever since air conditioners in homes became widely available to avg consumer. Before air conditioning in homes not very many people lived in the inner part of the state, because it was just too hot where you got no sea breeze. That all changed in the 1950's where people started to build homes everywhere in Florida now that air conditioning was wildly available and the rest of history after that.
I lived in Sarasota for 10 years - and saw upfront how fast the land was being developed, building on every square inch of land. The traffic is 20 times worse what it used to be.
I've lived here for 30 years and this place is unrecognizable. The area where they built in Laurel Meadows used to be a place for riding horses, dirt bikes and four-wheel vehicles. It wasn't very high and dry... just open in areas and undeveloped. There were cow pastures out there and an orange grove, I think. It used to be beautiful here. Now, it's over-developed... houses everywhere on every square inch of Sarasota prime real estate.
Hollywood Florida we had a house there in the seventies and eighties my great-grandmother's okay there was open Lots everywhere today they are filled with condos and townhouses one on top of the other there is absolutely no room to breathe overpopulated over developed😢
OVERDEVELOPMENT is a plague everywhere. It is SICKENING to see the size of the greed. Here in Las Vegas the super developments are everywhere, in all directions of the valley, and even our beautiful mountains are being flattened to accommodate human “s’s”. It is a crying situation
Sarasota County government is greedy period. I would like to know how many building permits have been issued in the last five years not to mention white envelopes.
Sorry to be a downer, but welcome to Florida. My Sarasota home flooded in 1969 where I lived with only cow pastures around (way east on Clark Rd). My home flooded in 1992 near the intersection of Clark and Beneva Roads. That flood taught me a real lesson when an alligator swam through my carport. Last week my entire yard and street went under water, but I stayed dry because my house is on stilts. If you want to stay here, live on stilts or you might flood. Development won't stop unless our real estate market crashes permanently.
Look at how your homes are people.... concrete foundations concrete driveways concrete swimming pools in the back yards of little lots of land and then there are the paved streets and C-stores everywhere! You are basically paving the landscape making it impermeable and then expecting the rain water to go where when it rains? Not in YOUR NEW HOUSE, of course... you want the water that falls on your neighborhood to go to somebody's else's neighborhood and house! And that, is the problem with these massive subdivisions (aka "Developments"), they make the landscape impermeable when they cut-n-fill wetlands and clear-cut forests to make way for "development" and that comes at a great cost at some point! Just saying. 😕
This the one of main reason why I move from Sarasota it’s bad flooding, and a lot of the sewages is bad in whole city it’s a lot of old neighborhoods, and they putting new developments this is crazy.🙏🏻
The woman at the 2:00 mark is probably right. There are a ton of issues that caused this. However, good luck getting any of these issues fixed let alone all of them. My two cents. Get flood and storm insurance, or get out while you can. These weather events are going to get much worse.
There is 50 million that was donated to Ian survivors by the public in 2022. 2 million was dispersed by Casy DeSantis. 48 million is left. Contact the Governor's office to ask for assistance...
There is only one home in this development that was not flooded, because it was built at a higher elevation, so the question is, why did the developer not build all the homes in this development on a higher elevation, for it would have saved these homeowners a lot of grief and misery.
Sarasota has been overdeveloped for a long time, I remembered anywhere East of Lockwood Ridge road was cow pasture and swamp. It always flooded when it was stormy.
So how’s YOUR property value now neighbor ? They will still charge you high property tax and increase them again next year. Vote, and recall the others. Reduce our taxes for the damage the county has done to us.
Overdevelopment down here in South Florida too. A 10-minute destination is 25 minutes. Lanar and D.H. Horton are cramming houses/townhouses in any piece oof land.
All of these knuckleheads chasing the "water" and waterfront lifestyle. Well, now you got it. Trust me , the water will follow you so move to higher ground. Or raise your house, another costly endeavor.
Just say No! That is what taxpayers in Sarasota and Manatee Counties are telling their county commissioners and county planners. Roads over crowded, schools overcrowded, poor storm water engineering, and too many homes per acre of land promotes too much concrete and asphalt which does not absorb water, not to mention the permanent loss of important farmland used to grow our food.
Mother Nature is unpredictable…she has NO respect of man or property. Man must learn that lesson first and accept the consequences of ones choices. Low risk does not mean NO risk. Flood maps are an educated guess, not guaranteed.
They'll blame anyone. We feel bad for them but quite frankly I've heard enough. You bought a house built on a swamp that sits below sea level and didn't get flood insurance.
These communities have been built in what used to be the Myakka river floodplain. Just about every year the river overflows her banks and that’s where the water goes where it’s supposed to percolate in to the aquifer. Keep building homes and covering up the floodplain and this is what you get. Water has to go somewhere. I remember being a teenager and hearing my pop. Talk about this. That was about 55-60 years ago. But just keep on rezoning and handing out permits and see what happens.🤷♂️
You don’t have to be a civil engineer to know that water has no place to go when concrete, and houses cover ground. I’m experiencing it on a small scale since previous neighbors paved their driveway.
The excuse is they had more rain than they expected in a hundred years. I even heard some places say more than expected in a thousand years. Are these supposed to be like biblical events? Sounds more like the "forecasters" are either incompetent or corrupt.
Every storm will produce that much flooding because Florida has been overdeveloped when we have 11 to 19 inches but anybody’s gonna flood when you have 11 to 19 inches of rain.
Florida has let the horse out of the barn. Good luck getting it back in. Commissioners: What could possibly go wrong if we allow building at breakneck speed in sensitive low lying areas, without regard for the movement of billions of gallons or rainwater???
Everyone stop buying fast food and junk materials. Buy Water flood barriers and flood bags for doors, garage , and screen entrances. Spend only $300-800. I would suggest another 2-3 things but it’s undervalued and would be sold out. Preventing is key. I’m 36 and I noticed Americans became comfortable starting in the 80’s and don’t live to comfortably and don’t prepare for unpredictable times. Not impressed how older people are taking action. It’s 5% or less I’m impressed with and they are not common.
@patrickwhelan5703 Development is under the control of your county and your county commissioners. I agree the state is over develop and told my wife so for years now but if you dont even know how our system works how can we fix it.
Mine doesn't. But they were mesmerized by those glitzy real estate booklets they kept looking at. Did any home buyer ask what the elevation was? Maybe look at the nearest body of water? I don't know......maybe research a bit more....No?
From Honor rd. to Tuttle ave. and Fruitville to University rd. Developers from Cuba and Miami are buying up all the houses and shopping centers and only allowing Cuban people to move in. What's going on?
Being a native Sarasotan of nearly 70 years, you have to know where to NOT buy a house. Florida had a population of 2million people. The water had plenty of places to flow out. Now there is NOT. IT WILL GET WORSE THE MORE THEY BUILD ON THIS SANDBAR.
We live a little further north and our development has numerous drainage easements. In other words, lots that are allocated for drainage only, no structures. If you don’t do your homework before purchasing a home, then this happens. Especially in Florida due to the topography.
Welcome to Sarasota. My home town. I do not live there any longer and it is a disgrace what the City/County Commissaries have done. None of them are native Sarasotans. They just want to make it the Northeast of the US. Shameful.
Oh please, please - don't rebuild! You know it's going to happen again! Look at the map of Sarasota - canals, ponds, lakes, rivers everywhere - it's swampland. Below sea level. No amount of pumping or new infrastructure (who's paying for that BTW?) will save you from a Class 3-4 hurricane or the next big tropical storm. Debby was just a tropical storm with 10-13 inches of rain. You know in your heart there is no one to blame but the weather (and humans if you believe in man-made climate change. But not sure that's legal in FL - to believe in climate change).
Please don't even bother. It's like talking to a woman who wants to stay with an abuser . They will never move and never see the problem is that they bought in a swampland and will not take personal responsibility for that Someone with common sense would never live in a swamp let alone rebuild they are so delusional and blame everyone else . My god help their souls for putting their pets and children thru their mental illnesses
Overdeveloped in Southern Maine - result is polluted beaches - traffic issues - have to be at beach by early am to get parking spot - greed by town council run by restaurant & hotel owners
Miami new construction is out of control too ..they are Adding buildings into single homes neighborhoods...In the middle of Coral Gables , between houses...new apartments buildings...
It’s to late they’ve already ruined Sarasota and surrounding areas. Lived in Venice my whole life 40 years left a couple of years ago because of over development
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.
And I have yet to hear one person say that they will secure flood insurance and to hear that woman saying they will not vote for anybody that wants to develop they are the ones that been voting in the people that are there this is a Democrat strongholds and they voted them in every major city in the country is over developed
Yes, and they should, and they should start with the county commissioners. Who allowed all this building to go on on wetlands? On preserves on county property, we need to take a look at their bank account and who is paying them. And we need to remove these people from office and get somebody. Who cares about this county? Information
Born in Tampa and it is disgusting how much over development is happening here.Climate change is not the cause of all the problems,greedy govt.officals are.Expect more sinkholes and flooding,maybe all these Yankees will go back home.
This has been going on for a long time!! Why have a naturally occurring lake when you can fill it in put concrete over it and put 25 houses in its place.
PVC/Concrete drainage dimensions, city water pumps , distance , and rain equations per minute all adds up for demand. Hire third party companies to propose and engineer what’s required to PREVENT PREVENT PREVENT. Property tax income comes before Mother Nature outcome in some leaders vision.
Here is the problem You decided to buy in this area without doing any research, So it becomes your problem. You know I just love when people make bad decisions and when things go wrong they blame everyone else except themselves. Simply Amazing. so what do you think???? thanks
Plumbing has equations per minute with rain drops volume/gallons also includes dimensions , distance , and etc with water pumps so the city water drain can handle the demand. With the amount of homes was built flushing water down and rain falling down my theory says the engineers calculations was off and didn’t take it serious for the unpredictable times. Also the city probably didn’t want to do any new construction. Prepare for unpredictable times and I would recommend thinking outside the box and prepare for the next one.
