Florida has some of the strongest building codes in the country. No idea what you're talking about.

Have you seen how windows and glass are rated now? HVHZ? Broward and Miami-Dade county standards?

New buildings are made out of cinder blocks. Have you been to Florida?

Then what’s with all the mobile home parks per your stringent building codes?

Freedom to choose, ya little Soviet bureaucrat.

THank you Trump! MAGA 2024!!

You know, this is probably the most generous thing I've ever seen Trump do and I can't stand the guy.

Hundred bucks says they aren’t staying there for free. Plus Doral is such a shithole of course there are that many empty rooms.

Not everyone has the money that you do. Florida is more inclusive than your residential area.

So if you live in a house made of sticks and the big bad wolf comes and despite warnings you don’t leave ….. ????

That has nothing to do with inclusivity, just stupidity.

If they don't leave, I agree with you. I'm just referring to the presence of mobile home parks.

I wonder if there will be any footage of this. How would it be filmed?

No it is just time to increase taxes to the blue states to pay for the red states climate change problems.

Red states like Florida whose governor brilliantly ordered every reference to climate change be erased from government websites and governments. Ha! Way to show the weather who's boss. That's SURE to keep the imaginary liberal hurricanes away!

Global cooling is definitely an issue. All the wet rain and cooling flooding deserts with early snow events. Cooling is deadly and it’s important for more CO2 in the atmosphere to head off a dangerous cooling trend.

^ Cooling trend? Here's someone who's never actually read any scientific literature and instead just pulls crap out of his ass.

That is the troll that is going to make a fortune snapping up all the properties that the insurance companies will no longer insure. That poster knows better.

So are these stringent building codes waived for poor people?

I specifically said mobile homes. Do you not know what they are?

I wonder if those who refused to leave, and then want taxpayers to rescue them, are MAGA. They support politicians who don't want to fund FEMA or provide aid to blue states when natural disasters hit, but then want taxpayers (from mostly blue states) to bail them out.

It's a mix of people and really just human psychology at play. Often people are scared of evacuation because there is so much unknown, they are scared to lose everything they have and they often do not have much and can't start over.

And the same people blessing TFG for this "generosity" probably are railing on TayTay for not giving enough (5 million for reference).

Then they shouldn't keep voting for people who want to deny federal aid to people.

You're not listening. I'm telling you it's not a political issue. Evacuations are the same awful mess whether you voted Trump or Biden. I think people outside of hurricane areas do not get that it's not about abstracts, it's about a series of very real, pragmatic steps to take: Are you in the cone? Are you getting sand bags? Are you boarding up? Do you have food and water? Should you evacuate? Where should you evacuate? Do you have enough gas to evacuate? The logistics are so complex and some people end up playing ostrich with it all.
