Willi - thanks for joining you bring a lot of interesting points and data to discussion.

However, you lost me with the last post.

The biggest drainage and sewer issues in Oakland County are not in the "rich" enclaves of the Bloomfields, or Birmingham. The areas that cause the biggest problem and throw their problems over to Macomb County are in the Red Run drainage - Royal Oak, Berkley, Huntington Woods, etc.

Even if you were to cross-feed back to the Rouge Basin, this would impact areas more like Southfield not the 'Hills or Birmingham.

Plus, I know it is in style to pile-on the "rich" but Country Clubs are private clubs and owned by their members. If people want to pay to join something and the clubs own the property, who is anyone to question how people spend their money or privately held land is used. It is a silly idea to think that Country Clubs are the root of all evils, when in fact actually much of the greenspace associated with the golf course actually helps drainage and prevent run-off.
