**Background:**
Residents Against Flooding (the Plaintiffs) brought this action against Reinvestment (the Defendant) in response to significant flooding that has impacted their community. The residents claim that inadequate infrastructure investment and poor urban planning by Reinvestment have exacerbated flooding conditions in their area. The Plaintiffs argue that the Defendant failed to take necessary steps to mitigate flood risk despite knowledge of ongoing issues.

**Arguments:**

They point to specific instances of flooding and environmental assessments that demonstrate a pattern of neglect regarding infrastructure improvements.
- **Defendant’s Position:** Reinvestment contends that they have acted within the bounds of their responsibilities and that flooding resulted from unforeseen natural events. They argue that the claims lack sufficient evidence to establish causation and that they have implemented measures where feasible.
