✍️ Baba Ndanani, a resident of Edgemere, a flood-prone neighborhood in New York City, shares his experience of surviving Hurricane Sandy and his concerns about the lack of flood protections in his community.
👉 Edgemere is a flood-prone neighborhood in New York City 👉 Residents are concerned about the lack of flood protections 👉 The city has raised shorelines and installed floodgates in other neighborhoods, but not in Edgemere 👉 Residents feel forgotten and neglected by the city 👉 The city's focus on protecting wealthier neighborhoods is seen as unfair
