Hello. I'm sorry to hear about the flooding! Here in Northern California, retaining walls usually have a system of perforated pipes that relieve the hydronic/water pressure on the walls.
Sure, Sounds like your building department and their inspectors aren't up to Parr!!

The 495 has always been dangerous to drive around exit 26 when it rains heavy. My friend Aaron Wu died when his car hydroplaned right there near exit 26 on the 495. They need to fix it

So I’m guessing the money to keep sewer lines clear is just getting laundered 😂

[PinePowerLI]

Since the City has no problem giving hotel rooms to illegals & criminals, why haven't they helped the law abiding citizens who had to be evacuated because of that retaining wall collapse?

[seviregis]

And these types of damages can keep happening even after the rain stops because they’ve already been weakened. So everyone needs to be careful and watchful. I feel bad for all those people with the retaining wall collapses, sewage floods, strandings on the highway...., it’s just too much water too quickly.

[Hello-rllp]

Where are all the high tax dollars going to? The NY & NJ can't ever have severe weather without the entire place drowning in hell.

[The_Quaalude]

Billions of dollars worth of old infrastructure needs to be replaced...

[slapshot]

No way we would survive a cat 5 hurricane! This city would be underwater! Hoboken would be underwater! U see how much damage this did? Now times that by 100 n u get nothing but chaos!

[Jewels]

That's never good been through that before.

[wesleyrodgers]

Record rainfall. Record snow fall...
Climate change.

[Og-Judy]

INFRASTRUCTURE!!! Much of the New York Burroughs are centuries old. 1800s sewers can't handle the load anymore.

[seanmahoney]

They have a brand. Ka ka is their brand.

[surname]

So glad I’m not there anymore… A torrential downpour can cause so much havoc when over here in Florida it’s common weather and the infrastructure is designed for it

[Chapa-pa-pa]

is sewage water the same as poop water?

[Danny]

Can't be that bad if someone puts on a Patrick Star outfit.

[mrmrso]

Why is Patrick the Starfish from Sponge Bob roaming around?

[markmilitant]

NYC needs to stop making basements normal flooding is on the rise

[Eseibio__]

We live in the richest country I the world, but most people can't afford food clothing or shelter

[mnoell]

Where is your man?? He should have a place for y’all to go!
