[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you asking this because of the hurricane?
You do realize they have had hurricanes before and people who move there know the risks.  
Just like people who move to California know the risks of earthquakes and those that move to Oklahoma know the risks of tornadoes.

Of course it is on the list... for some people.  
It is a very retirement-friendly state.  [/quote]

I am from Florida.  Hurricanes are a part of life, just like you would expect summers to be awful in DC, you expect hurricanes during hurricane season.  They come every single year.  We have close calls every single year.  This year is no exception.

That said - I do think that people are rethinking the whole FEMA flood insurance subsidy.  People who live in coastal areas pay artificially low insurance premiums, as they are subsidized by taxpayers.

It's really not fair that people choose to live in floodzones  and expect others to bail them out when they are flooded.  And get massive insurance subsidies in the meantime.
