The Right Idea

I was taking some pictures on the High Bridge today.  The first crest of the Mississippi was on Thursday, I think.   As I was looking down on some expensive (and colorful) condos that were built a few years ago in the flood plain, I noticed at least one person with the right idea--a moving truck.

This area was an Italian community in the 50's and it was razed because it flooded every year and caused a lot of problems.  So now the area has been raised a few feet and fancy condos run the risk of some extra water features.  If it ever does flood, I wonder if the owners will have to pay extra association fees for those new water features.
