It's nice to here from someone that has had the experience of living on a drainage ditch. But here the flood control retention ponds are considered gold and their intended duty to prevent flooding, provide irrigation water, and a home for wildlife works very well. I doubt that anyone living on one of these ponds would consider them a drainage ditch, only those who have not experienced The Villages water front living would do so and most likely enjoy their kissing lanais.
