Buying lands in flood zones

Ironically, prices of land in these flood prone locations is ridiculously high. Tse Addo for instance land prices are around 500k GHS the minimum. The same can be said about Weija. People looses their  property cars even lives, and you will expect that to scare people aware from buying lands or building homes  in these flood prone areas but that even added more gasoline to the flame. Supposing you don’t know if  the place you want to buy land flood or not, visit there when it rains heavily.
