I feel bad for those who keep getting flooded. At the same time, we should be asking the question, should we as a society allow structures and private property so close to bodies of water. Flooding is one reason, but the 2nd more important reason, is people should have public access to our lakes, rivers, and oceans. There should be a public buffer of land between the water and private land. Private property should not be flush up against our water boundaries.
- jdhn 8y agoThe real question we should be asking instead is whether we should be backstopping these private properties with government funded insurance. Remove the backstop of government insurance and the market will quickly solve this problem.
