I've got mixed feelings about opening the flood-gates on lesser populated areas. I'd be PO'ed too if a wall was already protecting me and someone decided that others were more important downstream.
But...... if you were considering buying a place or building a home and you drove over to that wall nearby and saw the gates that COULD BE OPENED, I guess you'd have to say that you were warned. A little due diligence and a LOT of questions would be in order.
Quite a few years ago, the Great Lakes water levels were high and people along the shore of Lake St. Clair (located between Lake Huron & Lake Erie) were in danger of being flooded.
