Because you have to adopt them before you can find out what is in them.
I’ve got to at least partially agree with the democrats on this one.
My house started out above the flood zone and then was revised into it while even lower ground around it remained above the flood zone. Even my congressman was out here with a survey crew trying to decode it.
This is an INSANE amount of money! That's more than half of the median income in my area!! For INSURANCE?? Heck, that's 1/3rd of the cost of my LAND.
OMG, the antidote to left wing thinking.... Self inflicted pain.
How does it feel libtard?
I have been waiting for a permit over in the Trenton area for four months because some a$$Jack wants to prove he is a valid part of the township government.
Meanwhile, dozens of subs can’t employ men or feed their families.
I feel sorry for my friends at the Jersey beach, but I am thrilled that this A$$hat is the victim of his buddies
As a Land Surveyor I can attest to this. They arbitrailly (it seems) revised many of the flood maps in 2012, all around the country to raise the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) to elevations that before were not in the flood zone. I have recieved many calls from irate land owners that are now having to pay for Flood Certificates to prove that their dwellings are not in the flood zones. The mortgage companys are looking at the new maps and requiring them to get flood insurance. The surveys and the insurance arn’t cheap. If you refi or your loan gets sold...look out. I don’t to flood certs, dealing with the feds is never a good idea and the regs look like a liability trap to me.
Funny how those unelected progressive government regulators will even turn on their progressive friends and bite them in the a$$. Watch the 5 years of court battles begin and the Agenda 21 crowd win in the end. Already NYC is offering to buy up the un-rebuilt places (and they will make sure you can’t rebuilt without a court battle that takes years) and turn them into wild areas.
New Jersey! Figures.
I wonder if people need flood insurance when Gov. Christie does a “cannonball” into the ocean?
Just asking?
I wonder if Christie has “injured whale insurance”? Just asking.
I actually like Christie when he is sensible. Looks like he finally understood that Obama bitchslapped him in the Hurricane Sandy PhotoOp. Lots of handshakes but not much money or FEMA action for NJ.
Lesson learned, governor. You can’t trust a Democrat, esp. Obama.
