Jack Morrison2026-07-08T18:41:26.000Z

Ben Sullivan2026-07-08T19:01:26.000Z

Ben Sullivan2026-07-08T19:09:26.000Z

anyone else feel like these reports come out every year and nothing changes

Leo McKenzie2026-07-08T19:56:26.000Z

facts. but they'll still hike rates 'for flood protection' and then nothing happens

Reagan Shaw2026-07-08T19:45:26.000Z

wake me up when they actually fix the stormwater drains in my street. sick of sweeping mud out my garage every winter

Reagan Shaw2026-07-08T20:34:26.000Z

mate our street drains are blocked since 2023. but sure the report says 53% lol

Jack Morrison2026-07-08T20:07:26.000Z

Jack Morrison2026-07-08T20:42:26.000Z
