Another community member pointed out that the problem is not new and that the authorities have promised solutions on several occasions without concrete results.“We are desperate. Look how the water is going down and you have to run out, with the mattresses floating,” expressed one of the residents, while watching how the water kept rising.
The situation not only affects the homes, but also vehicular traffic, as numerous drivers have been stranded on Monumental Avenue as they are unable to cross due to the large amount of accumulated water.“They always say they’re fixing it and nothing ever gets fixed,” lamented the neighbor.

In some cases, the residents themselves have had to go out to help drivers trapped in the water. Community members say that crossing the street has become impossible, as the water level exceeds the sidewalk in several places. In addition, they express that the situation is “quite uncomfortable and desperate”, especially for families with children and the elderly. The residents reiterate their call to the authorities to take urgent and definitive measures to prevent this tragedy from repeating itself every time a storm occurs.
