Because they have more money than sense. There's nothing there at Riverview that a yuppie puppy in a SUV can't handle without even pulling the cellphone out of his ear. Note that UT said most housing around here is built outside the floodplain.

New Hope is now flooded probably not quite as bad as it was in 1956. The bridge is still intact. We dealt with it then and we're dealing with it now.
