Every time I see Living On A Floodplain jokes I want to whip out a before and after picture of the Dutch province of Flevoland
there's the 'Building on a Floodplain Is Stupid' people, the 'I Built On A Floodplain - Oh No! Flooding!' people, and the Dutch, who whisper 'fuck you' to the water every morning and add another chunk of land every time it moves funny
whether hubris will come for us is still to be determined
