Temporary HESCO barriers saved over a thousand homes worth $900M last flood, but upkeep costs $6–12M annually and needs resident approval for a dedicated funding zone. Plus, lawsuits loom over land use without compensation, and new development in flood zones may be paused—all while property tax hikes are on the ballot this fall. The clock’s ticking: final cost estimates arrive in December, and council must decide how to pay before then. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
