That area only floods because of lack on concern from the city, they know the problem and have failed to fix it...My mother was up against the city back in 1979 and they just now 2012 have started to work on fixing the problem, a pumping station at 113th and 20th street but they are far from done..... pretty sad these poor people have to suffer because of the city's lack of concern of their safety.
