What a condescending comment. You realize how many millions of people live in flood plains, and how climate change means that existing mitigations are not sufficient anymore?
Yes? Building on flood plains has been a bad idea for a while now. (1)
> how climate change means that existing mitigations are not sufficient anymore
Is that not implied by what I already said: "Sadly, "unprecedented" floods should now not also be "unexpected"."

it actually is a floodplain, right? Calling it "condescending" to mention that many people are in that known bad situation, will not in itself make them safe, will it?
But, we also need to talk about known risks, and how they are getting worse, and how it was known that they would get worse. And failure to plan. A floodplain is one of these risks.
