>> Folks shouldn’t live in low areas that are prone to hurricanes. <<
Until fairly recently, MOST people in America lived near a coast. Inland cities like Dallas and Phoenix are novelties.
Some folks are having a hard time grasping what I am saying.
I realize that some areas along the coast are more at risk than others. Some of the lower elevation areas that are easily flooded even during heavy rains, should be off limits.
Do you like spending 5-25% more for your home insurance based on the idea people have made poor choices along the coast?
Should whole neighborhoods we know are going to be destroyed, be populated?
I’m not advocating no homes be along the coast at all.
I am advocating for using better judgement and also stronger building codes in areas that are not just “at risk”, but “certain to fail”.
