Jay Honeck opined

I wonder if the insurance companies (and the federal government) will
FINALLY wake up to the fact that building permanent structures below
sea-level in a hurricane zone is folly?


Insurance companies figured this out some time ago. The feds are a bit slower.

Just in the last couple of years (after paying out billions to re-build
homes along the Mississippi -- again) these two entities have wised up and
essentially prohibited building homes and businesses in flood zones.


No need to enact an another law, just end the Federal Flood Insurance program.

Seems like a good idea...
