There's some visibly new pumping stations and some that shut down, but they don't run these. As a result, they're left to the city to mismanage and have normal storms turn into bad floods. I'm not being political here, this is fact with people walking off the job or just not doing their job.

The city's sewer systems are completely busted and need way more than $14b to fix.

Yeah the Corps fixed what they broke, but there's not a lot of new investment by them.
