The stinker here is that homes built on the FL barrier islands can buy insurance through Citizens state pool.
Well, if they can afford it fine. No
problem with that. The wealthy can
afford to self-insure and do, and they
have the bucks for it all, pre and post
calamity.
Life, disasters happen. I sure know
that. I’ve been displaced by them,
and I’m an empathetic and compassionate
neighbor when they’ve been in the same
boat.
But I’m kinda starting to get just a
might turned off by excessive govt
(yours and my) funds being expended
in these areas of documented and many
times repetitive severe risk, loss and
rescue, when D-Day finally comes.
Barrier islands .. I just don’t think so.
Rebuilding NOLA? I’m having real
difficulty grasping the logic of that,
in light of the topography/elevation,
except for the vital coastal petrol/refinery
areas and housing for the employees.
Maybe I’m just dense.
BTW, if those barrier island residents
aren’t paying tons more than folks in
safer locales, who thought up that plan?
That’s unconscionable and illogical, if true.
