Buying out flood-prone properties and preserving it as undeveloped coastline. Beats having FEMA rebuild them every X years. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/04/nyregion/cuomo-seeking-home-buyouts-in-flood-zones.html?hp |

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!

I have no idea why folks continue to build in flood zones, have their lives disrupted every few years, and then expect everyone else in the nation to buy them a new house. |

I have no idea why we continue to rebuild them on anyone's nickel. |

But still, by all means let them buy the property and build there if they so desire. Just hold them responsible for the repercussions of their decision. |
| The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it. | |

Neither do I. But we do. Though in fairness NYC doesn't flood every couple of years, at least not historically. Its not quite the Mississippi flood plain or FL/Gulf Coast. |
