have a story about this from my own past THREADhttps://twitter.com/jinxisaslut/status/1000448334203531266 …
now that the state has decided they have authority here, and have threatened the private property owners to make them not do anything, you would expect them to send in a team to fix it, right?

hahaha are you even paying attention? No, this happened in America, nobody is gonna fix shit. The state does an assessment and decides that it will cost a few million dollars to repair the dam properly. That's not in this year's budget. They don't do a damn thing.

It's been a few months now. The sandbags have given out and the dam finally collapses. It's a bit anti-climactic really. Could have been more of a scene but mostly it just fucked up a few hundred meters of drainage watershed. The mill pond empties and is now a muddy swamp.

Everyone is unhappy. Everyone loses property value. A scenic bit of "nature" is now replaced by a stinking mosquito breeding ground. The state never did get around to doing anything to restore the area. The end.
