Because DeLuna is being built on swamp land.

Wildwood has been a city for well over 100 years and prospered in the late 1800's when they were mining for phosphates. Naturally, the people built their nearby settlements like Coleman and Adamsville (just south of DeLuna) on land that was not swamp land.

On Google maps, it shows the planned new roads in DeLuna but the aerial view shows the land before it was developed. You can judge for yourself whether it looks like swamp land or not.
