It seems that large parts of California are subject to ground shaking that is destructive occurring two or more times per decade with some variability.
Is it really time to take away their insurance and disaster aid?
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoThat's not like Florida. If you said 1906 San Francisco 1911 San Francisco 1913 San Francisco 1922 San Francisco 1928 San Francisco ... then you 're in the neighborhood of what parts of Florida have been getting. It's not that the whole state keeps getting hit by hurricanes. It's that individual locations have been hit multiple times in a decade. So no, California is not comparable.
- ProfessorLayton 4y agoCalifornia is the most populous and economically significant state in the United States, which alone could stand to be the 5th largest economy in the world. California subsidizes other states, including those much much more prone to flooding, while the reverse isn't true in regards to earthquake damage. A lot of federal disaster aid is just Californian's own money being used to help them when needed. This is true for other states like NY. Lastly, California does indeed offer a very high deductible form of earthquake insurance, and it isn't federally subsidized like FEMA is.
