Those are just things. It’s the people I care about. |
Families make their homes here. I do a lot of business with the Sanibel parks and rec dept youth league sports. |
I'd imagine it's up to insurance companies - if nobody will insure new builds there, it won't get rebuilt. |
My family lives there. It is a real community and not just vacation homes. |
The Ft Myers area has a lot of 1/2 size mobile home communities. My inlaws lived in one for 6 months of the year. There is no doubt in my mind that their is significant deaths in these communities. Many seniors are reluctant to evacuate. Many seniors don't have the money to evacuate. I suspect drownings, heart attacks, and death from the heat in the coming days. |
PP are you all ok? |
NP. I hope federal aid going to relocating and reestablishing those 6700+ people and remediating the environmental damage from the loss of Sanibel, not rebuilding it. |
Then Florida should be responsible for the environmental clean up. |
This is a huge problem in FL. They keep losing insurance companies who are willing to keep insuring homes in the state. My MIL had her insurer stop doing business in the state. She then had to scramble to find a new one and that company insisted that she replace her roof before they would insure her. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/09/30/ian-florida-economy-insurance/ |
So are a lot of people just uninsured? It seems like that shouldn’t be allowed. |
Whether it’s vacation homes or not should we really be rebuilding entire island communities every 20 years? I love Sanibel but really question whether it makes sense anymore. Not to mention all this hurricane-related debris and contaminants are terrible for the marine environment. |
Well, to be fair, we built up many places in the U.S. that make no sense. Like Vegas, tornado alley, parts of California, New Orleans, Miami Beach. Even Manhattan is sinking. |
You mean vacation homes are you inaccurately stated before. |
More people live on my block in NYC than that. It does not make sense to rebuild an area so prone to flooding and disaster. |
No shit Sherlock. Nyc is the most condensed area of people living in the US. That doesn’t mean no where else isn’t allowed to have that idiot. |
