Is this normal? My neighborhood in Tennessee was over 70 years old and we did not have similar issues. Maybe it is just reported in the local newspaper more often but I really don't know. My gut says it is due to substandard building practices but I have no information to back that up.
I'd like to hear the thoughts of others with some experience in this arena.

Did your neighborhood back in Tennessee have the same elaborate drainage system and retention pond system that has been built here? Let’s compare apples to apples.
