    Unbounded risk-taking such as insuring people building houses in risky locations will lead to bankrupting the country.

    If insurance is going to cover it, then there needs to be stipulations on the home owner to reduce the risk - for example, building the home out of steel and concrete, raising the structure high enough so that floods and storm surges cannot reach indoors, etc.

      Oh the hell it will.

      We could have a functional colony on the moon and mars if NASA got a quarter of the military budget.

      Maybe, just maybe, we stop spending billions to kill brown people for no good reason, and spend a tiny fucking fraction of that to make our own part of the world Less of a shithole, instead of more

        The first step in not living in a shithole is to not build a house in a shithole, e.g. swampy Florida.

          Are you stupid?

          The vast majority of people living in Florida, didn’t build a fucking house there.

          Most of the people living there, can’t afford a house.

          Like yeah, fuck the vacationers, they’re probably the reason we’re reading an article about house insurance. But the people who were born there with all their family and friends there, what the fuck are they supposed to do
