"We have to change how we connect to land. Who gets to control it? Who owns it? Who gets to build on it? There are tons of government subsidies that make it possible for anyone to possibly own a piece of land in the way that most people inhabit the land and own it. We need to change that because there are some things called flood zones. And what we called hundred-year floods are now like 10-year floods. You need to be able to make concrete, specific mitigation, or some sort of change to that land. Right now we're pretty stuck in many places where no authority can say, 'We need to change the city in XYZ ways in order to avoid future catastrophe and flood zones.' "
