It's really quite easy, if you live south of 44 and your home isn't on stilts, buy flood insurance. If one was a long timer and heard that they were going to build in that area, many heads were shaking. Water, water everywhere and then the fear of sinkholes with so many ponds, streams and other water areas present. There will always be a threat in heavy rainstorms, just prepare for it.

A change of perspective regarding the golf courses... they are primarily water retention and detention areas. When the areas aren't in use for water storage, one is welcome to use the golf courses built within to make people think they have fine golf courses. It all balances out, one just needs to develop another hobby other than golf for the "closed" days.
