Yes but why is water pouring out of this tower of this structure?

Also what is this structure? A hate house? Pump house? Milf island embassy?

Correct. It's fine until the system can't handle flow and then it basically goes straight to the James

Flooding

Combined storm and sewer, right?

And Fukushima

Looks like flood.

Would the fix be to have generators above the future-potential floodwaters, or, generators at multiple levels of a pump house?

Wow, hello bad faith argument. Maybe reread your own original comment then.

Edit for letter

Flood

Pretty sure it's a lift station to transfer waste water to the treatment plant across the river or the giant holding tank island nearby. Sewer, not flood wall related.

Not sure if this helps, but: https://www.lsuagcenter.com/articles/connected/floodwalls

From time to time, shockoe creek returns from the depths of the sewer line it was turned into.

Scuttlebutt says it's flooding, but you didn't hear that from me

Flooding

And the pumps failed because the generators for the pumps were... Flooded. It's similar to how so many complexes had generators in flooded basements in Sandy up north.

I’m no expert, but seems to be quite unquestionably, flooding.

Raining

Yes

Was that Gaston? Hard to keep track

Hi, I am guessing that you are young and real stretch, white? You may not mean it, but calling a place hood is using language that has been used as a racist dogwhistle. You can look at crime reports to see the reported crimes in a neighborhood to start. But most importantly, especially as you live nearby, you can visit neighborhoods and see if you feel like it would be a place that you would enjoy living in. The internet can take you far, but visiting on the weekend, on a weekday evening, maybe having lunch or coffee in a place can take you far. Look at zillow or apartments.com or something to gauge prices/amenities of places you can afford/meet your needs. See if it works for you transportation-wise. And then get out there.

There is so much information out there and in here (the search bar). Talk to people you know and ask if they like where they live. I would like living near too many rowdy bars wouldn't feel safe to me, but then someone else would consider that convenient. I like having sidewalks and some street life, others are uncomfortable with that. It comes down to you. And safe, even that is misleading. Plenty of neighborhoods have lots of property crimes (even my old golf club community in the exurbs, people wouldn't lock their cars and leave things like guns, laptops and backpacks in their cars and bored teenagers would help themselves). I don't feel safe when people open carry at the gas pump, but to others that is just the way they roll.

I'm not trying to sound sanctimonious, but I live in a very safe neighborhood where I know my neighborhoods but it may not appear so to someone else who drives through or relies on the opinions of outsiders. Finding a neighborhood that feels like you want to be a part of it is part of the fun of being young and not too settled yet. Explore! Good luck. Having a solid roommate/brother can go a long way towards increasing your sense of personal safety.

I don't think lobbying is bad, but you are reacting like you think lobbying is bad

Do you think all lobbying is bad? Public healthcare? Environmental protections? I could go on, but unless you think there is zero difference between good and bad things, then you are just resentful of the fact that someone asked you to care.

Shockhoe bottom cleansing itself? Think Noah but on a smaller more localized scale
