Your beef is with the high dollar developers who build all the high rises the tourist flock to each year, not the average American who happens to live where many want to be. I wonder how many of said tourist have a $10,000 deductible on their homeowners. I don't know how much mom pays in yearly to the National Flood Insurance program, but she budgets and does.
Will be a sad day for America if the federal gov comes in and takes land to turn it into an RV park or campground, as you suggest. So much for working hard and buying property!
My house is 13 years old, I'm inland a bit. Mom's is 25ish years old. Not wiped out yet, sorry.
If you have issues with NOLA and how it is built, keep it there.
Good for you and your people.
Unfortunately, you are in the minority.
And if you wish to stay, by all means do so.
But you do know, I’m sure, that government can now take your property and give it to a developer to garner higher property taxes from more 30 story condos.
