It's not in goo - Everyone I know who lives south of the bridge has basement flooding every year, and everyone I know north of the bridge has never had basement flooding.

It's actually weird, even though it's just one street apart, they're like completely different areas. I think it's mostly about foot traffic. North of the bridge, there's nothing anyone can really walk to except bikes. (11)
