Some High River residents are upset about losing their view because of a three-metre high flood-mitigation berm.
Snodgrass has brought the issue up at council and drafted a letter in response to the complaining residents. But he said it’s hard to see their point of view.
"I'll show you what a loss of home value is — cut a notch in that thing for your view, your home value is nada,” he said.

Snodgrass is not well liked by High River residents. He has zero emapthy for any issues residents bring up and always replies with "This is the way it is and when it's done you'll like it!" Then there's ripped up downtown and his pie in the sky plans to turn it into a mini version of a Kensington area of Calgary. Good luck finidng businesses to fill those empty buildings when you've eliminated most of the parking.
I'm good friends with a former member of town council and as she stated to me the other day that they didn't have to build those berms so close to the houses. Any snow melt from those berms will flow into peoples basements. Then there's the issue of who will do the upkeep (grass cutting) and maintinence of the berms.
