[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel sad for the people of FL. Have they even recovered from the last hurricane yet? The news hasn't covered much at all. I have no idea if people are still out of power.[/quote]

I do and I don't. [b]These people choose to live in a state with a massive risk for yearly catastrophic weather. [/b]They don't pay a state income tax and my federal tax dollars go to bail them out again and again. There are 49 other nice states to live in. I'm so sick of the entitlement. People want to talk about government handouts? How much does rebuilding Florida three times a year cost us?[/quote]

Almost 20% of the population of florida is under age 18 and probably not choosing to live there. [b]About 13% of the population of Florida live in poverty and have few options but to keep living where they are (moving to a new area is very expensive…it’s a privilege to have means to make a move to another state happen.) [/b]

You act as though every person living there made a conscious decision to do so and they could just up and leave any time when that is often not true. [/quote]

Well, instead of the government paying to rebuild their house in the same risky area, why don't they pay them to move somewhere safer instead?  Even much of inland FL would be better than along the coast.  I think we need to be having serious conversations about rebuilding in such flood prone areas (I'd say the same about parts of CA that are very susceptible to wildflires).[/quote]
