I see what you mean...
Look for a plot of ground away from:
a river that overflows annually,
a valley/corridor with aridity so
low it’a a tinderbox
a below sea level plot with ocean
access
a plot located along tornado alley
a site that is not avalanche prone
a plot located nowhere near a major
fault line - earthquakes

In the US, it sounds like the Great
MidWest is the ideal spot. All you
have to worry about is frost bite and
shoveling snow for a few weeks.
In Europe, I’d take a chance on Italy.

22 years ago, I bought a small condo in Palm Harbor Florida. It was fllod zone CCC. I didn’t have to have flood insurance.

Thanksgiving week we are going down to fix it up to sell. The state rezoned my neighborhood (and all of Florida as a flood zone) and now I can’t afford to keep it because of the cost of insurance.

You see, even if you’re careful in selecting a location, the government has to spread the rich beachfront people’s risk so THEIR insurance is affordable.
