No, it should trigger a national rethink on where we allow people to keep rebuilding over and over - or at least provide public services and funding - local, state, or federal for those areas.

- nephy 2y agoI live 2 hours away from the mountains of North Carolina. I grew up in the foothills. You have no idea what you are talking about. People aren’t rebuilding here, “over and over.” This was a climate disaster full stop. If we as a species don’t get our shit together and stop poisoning our planet this will keep happening.
