You know... back where I grew up, when people were allowed to own an acre of land... this wasn't an issue. There was no storm drain system. The rain just drained off... wait for it... into the soil. CAUSE THE WHOLE GODAMN PLACE WASN'T PAVED OVER!!!
That's the problem. These high density developments mean better than 50% of the surface area is impermiable. Thus requiring storm sewers, which drain into the lake.
Dog poo hurting the fish. Give me a f***ing break. Mammals have been s***ting on land since the dawn of time.
This leads directly back to the high density/urban sprawl/real estate prices thing.
Maybe the solution is we should stop growing. If human activity is so bad for the planet... why not stop trying to increase the population?
