The recent San Diego Flooding event has brought to light critical issues in the city's stormwater infrastructure. Climate change, coupled with an aging and insufficient drainage system, has left many vulnerable neighborhoods underwater, resulting in catastrophic damage, rescue operations, and costly repairs. As we examine the extent of this crisis, it becomes evident that San Diego is at a crossroads. To prevent future calamities, we must address the root causes of this disaster and invest in long-overdue infrastructure improvements.
