Good comment from "anonymous", but it needs some fact checking

Anonymous, that is a decision that could have been made a very long time ago. But NOW you enjoy sewer treatment from a $250,000,000 sewer plant that was built behind the levee. And for Columbia to grow, it plans to expand that plant. AND Heathwood Hall is built behind that levee. The owner of that levee is maintaining the levee and has 3,000 acres of property that could take the same advantage of the levee. It does no one any good to pretend that things aren’t already built behind there. And it does no one any good to pretend that the levee is not there or that it cannot be useful. Is it really greedy to want to use ones land and levee when other people are doing it? Or is it selfish to say you don’t want someone to use his land because you have a preference that he not do it?

Take a look at Hannibal, Missouri. It has a newer levee with the same characteristics of the proposed Vista Farms levee. Everything is fine there. Everything could be fine here too, if the levee gets fixed. I know you are anonymous, but will you stand up when the levee fails and say that’s your plan?
