I wonder if the insurance companies (and the federal government) will
FINALLY wake up to the fact that building permanent structures below
sea-level in a hurricane zone is folly?

Just in the last couple of years (after paying out billions to re-build
homes along the Mississippi -- again) these two entities have wised up and
essentially prohibited building homes and businesses in flood zones.

Seems like a good idea...

Let's keep in mind that a good part of New Orleans was built before
insurance companies told us what we can and can not do.

What I don't understand is why the insurance companies let them keep
building houses on the sides of cliffs in California.
