Governments only look to the next election and not the next generation. They would rather save pennies today and let the net (or the one after that) government deal with the increased costs of mitigation. The word investment is a nasty smell.

“Creating a binational sponge city in the desert: Flooding in the binational cities at Ambos Nogales on the Arizona-Sonora portion of the US-Mexico border has caused damage, ruined livelihoods and taken lives for hundreds of years. New research suggests that flooding can be detained using low-tech, nature-based solutions, like natural infrastructure in dryland streams (NIDS), rock detention structures and green infrastructure.…”
