A counterargument is that people in places where we suffer few natural disasters shouldn’t have to subsidize people that choose to live in places like Florida that suffer frequent disasters.
If the government becomes responsible for the bills to rebuild from disaster, then the government should have the ability to tell people they can’t live somewhere that is going to flood every 10 years. And I imagine most people don’t want that.
The free market solution to disincentivize people from living in places that increasingly suffer regular disasters is for it to become increasingly expensive to live there. Insurance prices skyrocketing accomplishes that, and if someone can’t afford the insurance then they should cash out and move somewhere where they can afford to live.
But really, the problems in Florida are more about insurance fraud and a state government disinterested in doing anything about it. Maybe this will put pressure on the populace to forget culture wars and vote for people that will fix their problems. Ha!
Ok Boomer. This fuck you I got mine attitude is one of the major problems we face in this country. The notion that everyone can just chose where they live is naive at best and your privilege is showing if you actually believe it. The nightmare political situation we are seeing is largely due to older generations who live by exactly your way of thinking and selfish actions.
Nothing will improve until you people are extinct.
