Right.... I think I get that at some point people decided they wanted to move in and not be flooded, so dikes were built that keep most people dry most of the time...
I can see that 'what to do' about the water would have all kinds of room for debate.... I just can't figure out at the moment who is supposed to do what... Not that there is anything wrong with that. I am at the other corner of the country.

But they do grow a lot of tomatoes on land that used to be prime Everglades.
