Wait do they understand what Avenida Del Rio even means? It means the Avenue of the river. Appears to me this was once a river and has now become a river again. And the river runs through it
Years ago i saw a guy in a really nice porsche 911 try and cross, of course he got washed downstream, car rolled several times. Car was found 4 miles away! His body was found 12 miles away.
Unplug the drains. In France and every city within the country has large water trucks with high powered hoses, once a week these trucks drive through the streets early in the AM and aim a high pressure stream into the sewer drains to push debris into the main sewer channels to prevent this kind of hazard. WAKE UP 'MURICA!
Have lived in SD for 50 years now. This area always floods.. same areas always. Some years are worse than others. None of this is new and should not be alarming. Im sharing this for the younger folks, there is no reason to panic. Its normal.
This flooding may be normal but what is going on with our weather over the course of time is absolutely not normal! I hope you are not denying the rapid change in extreme weather events that are happening all over the world. Those are facts!
I remember in 1970 riding my bike through San Diego marshland, which is now where Living Spaces and a ton of condos now are: In the bottom of a RIVER BED. What on earth did they expect when they built there? Makes zero sense.
That first intersection, why not build a bridge/road a couple feet above where the river is going. I would think it would be done by now after many years of the same flood in the exact same areas.
Due to abnormal ocean heating, rainfall and floods are rapidly increasing. They have become atypically strong and destructive. And the more the ocean heats up, the more water will evaporate from its surface and, as a consequence, the number of floods, storms and hurricanes will increase. Between 1970 and 1979, there were 260 major floods. And from 2014 to 2023 there have already been more than 1,500 (!) major floods. That's a difference of more than 6 times. More and more often, such a huge amount of rain falls that the water rises up to the roofs of one-storey houses in a few hours, completely submerging the buildings together with their residents.
Well said! So sad that the climate deniers just put their head in the sand and don't understand basic facts and science. I also read that 2023 was the hottest year on planet earth in the last 120,000 years. We are in big trouble!
Remember all of this water flowing to the ocean during the next drought. California does not have a water shortage issue. California has a water storage issue. Force our State representatives to allow for the building of water storage. 15 years ago engineers designed a 20 foot height addition to Shasta Dam . This addition would create millions of additional acre feet of water storage. State representatives have stalled the project. That is just one of many examples.
We have a sitting president who can’t string together 2 sentences and a news anchor’s choice of words grabs your attention ? 🤔 We have bigger fish to fry
What's really stupid is we had a chance to make that river into a drainage ditch sort of like the Los Angeles River the army corps of engineers wanted to make the San Diego River into an LA river so that way the flooding wouldn't be nearly as bad within the valley but of course people in San Diego complained and cried wolf and it never got done people vetoed it and now look at the result San Diego it's your own fault San Diego it's your own fault
We used to ride in the square fiberglass molds from Conrock down the San Diego river on Father Junipero Sierra Trail and take the cable car across the river. That was in the early '70s when San Diego was a nice place to live.
The problem isn't the rain. We pay taxes for government services such as flood channel construction and maintenance. if maintained, they will handle the majority and minimize overflow and damage. Well we pay taxes but our money goes to pet projects and hiring more and more middle and senior managers, consultants, focus groups and "bloat." The last thing it's used for is funding the actual road repairs, flood channel maintenance, etc. ...but hey, keep voting for the politicians that make you feel good. I wanted the ones that were labeled A**holes but actually got things done.
But that would take decades of planning/committee reviews/political games and billions of dollars (much of which would go into the pensions of the local "leaders"). It's probably cheaper to just deal with the flooding and road closures a couple times a year than to build around the river.
Funny, how when you build in a river basin, it floods sometimes. Maybe we shouldn't build in a river basin. Like when the unhoused build in culverts. Eventually, you will have a FEMA event.
This must be messing up the bus service around Fashion Valley Transit Center. The trolley is elevated here, but many bus lines connect at ground level.
How embarrassing is it that these areas in MV get flooded every time it rains? Maybe if our city planners and engineers focused more on necessary infrastructure instead of bike lanes they could finally solve this problem.
Is there ever a time when Fashion Valley doesn't flood when it rains? It was one of the dumbest places ever to build up because while it normally doesn't rain that much in San Diego, when it does, of course there is going to be water in the river bed where they built right down to the bottom of river bed.
How stupid is that? California is the fourth largest economy on planet earth! My employer has 136 job openings and they all pay over $130,000 a year. Should I move out of California and go to another state that is run by Republicans where the poverty level is high and the education level is super low and infant mortality is high? Or should I live in a democratic state which accounts For over 70% of Americas gross domestic product? Stop watching Fox News and pull your head out of your backside!

How much would it cost to build a beautiful bridge over our beloved San Diego river? Shame on us. I mean like duh we all gawk at the river rising 5 feet. A river carved out mission valley. We need to be climate change proactive. Any land or structures not equipped for extreme weather conditions is on notice. To our folly, While we can’t even raise a bridge 5 feet, how can we be proactive enough to prevent mass displacement. The minimum standard is that all city roads are EWP! Extreme weather proof. And construction companies held responsible for the land under what they construct assuming extreme weather. It is no longer a surprise we might get 5 inches of rain in one day, or winds up to 100 miles, or a 50ft wave. That area they developed up river by the stadium, should have included a small dam to control water flow.
I don’t know why but in the map those 😊 place is really like a river before but they decided to build a mall and money making places that in the end will get flooded sooner or later! Maybe their thinking it will pay off for what ever they’ll make 🤔

Mission valley always floods...very normal

What a waste of a good car. Not so much the cretin who had been driving it.

I'm 58 born and raised and yes mission valley turns into a giant lake at least every 5 to 10 years.
This flooding may be normal but what is going on with our weather over the course of time is absolutely not normal! I hope you are not denying the rapid change in extreme weather events that are happening all over the world. Those are facts!
Yes, it's totally normal, except that now what used to be washes, and sandy bottoms, is now concrete and asphalt, a giant funnel that absorbs nothing.
MAGAt alert !! lol
Usually the first place to flood. I used to live on “River Run”, get it?
It’s a river!! You don’t build in a river
Mission Valley is a floodplain. Surprising more of the area doesn't get wiped out more often.
Somebody signed off on the permits$$$
This is why they shouldn't have built in the San Diego River bed .
Your telling me an avenue del rio is just a rio now? No es una sorpresa. Y'all should have taken a year of spanish in school.
I remember in 1970 riding my bike through San Diego marshland, which is now where Living Spaces and a ton of condos now are: In the bottom of a RIVER BED. What on earth did they expect when they built there? Makes zero sense.
Money and privileges make "lots of sense" for developers and city officials. The "sense" has many "zeros" attached.
It does make sense when you realize capital gains are the whole point.
That spot floods almost every year. How long before we can build a bridge there?
A bridge takes decades to build and they would literally have to destory the street entirely.
Nothing new it always floods there, and Belmont Park.
Some of those roads in FV are meant to flood over. People are just stupid to drive in flooded roads.
That first intersection, why not build a bridge/road a couple feet above where the river is going. I would think it would be done by now after many years of the same flood in the exact same areas.
I used to fish where Macy’s is now… Lol

Paving the desert and filling it with shopping malls doesn't help, either
Bike lanes are more important because it "feels good" 👍
i was catching bus there 2 weeks ago and someone asked if i wanted him to pray for me
They need to make a big storm drain under that road, and make the road elevated.
But that would take decades of planning/committee reviews/political games and billions of dollars (much of which would go into the pensions of the local "leaders"). It's probably cheaper to just deal with the flooding and road closures a couple times a year than to build around the river.
