Back to the positive: Around here, almost every new townhouse development
has to have a pond, so that the place looks good in brochures. With NO
exceptions, the pond ends up being useless to the residents because the
geese move in. This is an instance where The Person Responsible should be
tied to a chair and be subject to questions from the residents and pelting
with rotten fruit. Probably the architect.

Without knowing the specifics, I'm sure many of those ponds serve as
retention basins. Better to blame Mother Nature's downpours, than the
architect.
