Facts >> Flood Risk Hazard

As shown in the Sea Level Rise: Flood Risk Hazard Map, the majority of the project area is at risk of flood inundation as a result of sea level rise. With the state unable to balance its budget and city of Fremont dealing with budget cuts, taxpayers will be responsible for building and maintaining expensive flood control channels and levees and any liabilities for any failures of such measures.

Doesn't the city council have a moral and fiscal responsibility to not allow the building of a massive development that will cost taxpayers money supporting a development doomed to fail? Isn't taxpayer money better spent on our schools, streets, and police and fire services? After all, Fremont has plenty of safer places elsewhere to build and which are closer to transit.
