Having insurance doesn't save lives. The people in those homes are able to leave during the storm so they are not in danger while the insurance is left footing the bill to repair the damage. So I'm not sure where you will get tens of thousands of lives saved.
- nemomarx 1y agoIf they don't have insurance, hopefully they will leave and less new people will build houses on uninsurable land. At least some of those people will then avoid injury and death in the storms?
- infecto 1y agoI read it as less insurance coverage, less people buying and building. There is always some % of folks that stick around. Over the medium and long term that probably equates to some number of lives.
