There are a lot of people who would build there if they'd change the flood zone. There are a lot of houses over there that could be renovated, but the banks are reluctant to lend money because of the flood plain.

You could buy anything there ... a full-service store with a meat market and everything. My dad provided jobs for kids.

They don't care. If they cared, they wouldn't let what their parents worked so hard for fall down.
