Look—I agree with you philosophically.
But the way things stand now - laws, regs, insurance, etc - we all end up paying for this mess!
There is a long tradition of private insurance involving itself in these things...but since the govt got into this with the National Flood Insurance Program lots don’t bother to get it.
Self insurance should be mandatory when buying real estate... and if private insurance won’t write the policy or it costs an arm and leg, too bad..find another place to live or take the consequences.
This way we all don’t get saddled with the bills!
Yes I agree, I don’t want my tax dollars going to get these fools out of their problems. It’s a great idea, but a terrible location. Why was it built there?—opportunists, greed, cheap land whatever you want to call it - the developer should be ashamed and ran out of the business. You throw enough money at something and you can get anything you want signed or passed or whatever it took to say it was safe...anybody with half a brain should know better than to pay the over-inflated prices for a plywood shack thrown together like that place. I’m curious what it will look like it 30 years when all the money is raped out of it. Slick marketing-you noice the aerial shots on their websight doesn’t show how close the river is - go figure!!
