    Wow, that road was built on sand. No wonder it got eaten by the waves.
    I know right? Much of this damage could have been avoided I feel, by better building standards, it is crazy. They build homes and roads on shaky foundations, far too close to rivers, lakes and beaches. I am not sure if they just do not know how to build properly, or if it is a greed-driven desire to cut costs to the bone for the most profit. Probably a bit of both. Insane.
    Greed driven desire, combined with hoping that no disaster will strike, and hoping for zero accountability in case it does.

    The ancient Romans showed us how to build roads.
