To put it another way, your tax dollars have bought this woman five houses over the last forty-five years.

And now they are setting up a paypal account to cash-in on her "misfortune".

Why does she keep building her homes in the same place?

What’s the definition of insanity: you keep doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result?

Paypal donations?

So... she didn’t have insurance and chose to live in an area prone to destructive hurricanes anyway?

I suggest she pack up and move inland.

Martinez lost four other homes in the last 50 years Hurricanes Betsy (1965), Juan (1985), George (1998), and Katrina (2005).

She is not unlucky, she is stupid.

OK I will borrow from Sam Kinison’s “Desert” sketch (This is sand!!! Nothing grows in Sand!!!) to help this woman out:

YOU SEE THIS????
THIS IS WATER!!!!
WATER FLOODS WHEN YOU LIVE BELOW SEA LEVEL!!!!
YOU NEED TO MOVE!!

Time to move to Arizona

But then, her house would probably burn down.

Where do you get the idea that tax dollars built any of her homes?

What happened to Melanie Martinez’s home is evidence of stupidity. You want to see someone who was “unlucky” with respect to his homes, read about Wilmer McLean.

To add insult to injury, A&E reality show Hideous Houses had selected her home for a $20,000 makeover just a few months before. Though she’s considering moving to a home on higher ground this time around, Martinez is still hesitant to leave Louisiana.

Every time I see a story like this I am reminded of this Neil Diamond song:

I Am The Lion”

There was a flood
And many poor men were killed
And that is why our house
Is built on the top of a hill

The plains are like a friend,
Why can't we live on them
And if a flood should come,
Why can't we run

It would probably only take me getting cleaned out once, to convince me to stop building my home at or below sea level in a Hurricane strike zone.

I might give her a second chance ("Hey! Lightning NEVER strikes twice").

Five times, though? She's an idiot.
