Why is it always the Gulf Coast that gets complained about when we rebuild?

Nobody whines about the idiocy of building major metropolitan centers on top of fault lines, or in the path of blizzards, or tornadoes, or floodplains--but God help you if you rebuild within 30 miles of the shore.

Have y'all seen this? Qatar is air conditioning their open-air markets and stadiums.

This is nothing new. Qatar has had indoor ski slopes for years. *NM*

cold air remains low to the ground or something? *NM*

Right, but... surely an enclosed stadium would be more efficient. *NM*

That may simply be because earthquakes are less frequent than hurricanes, especially now *NM*

They're less frequent, but we know where they're going to happen.

That means we need to abandon places where millions of people live. Just in the US.

Aerocontrols do you think Augusta Kansas should not exist?

I think there's an argument to be made

A little over sensitive?

Very. I had enough of people blaming us for Katrina to last a lifetime. *NM*

I don't really know how that's relevant though. I'm not talking about insurance.

Mookie why aren't you using the same logic about the California fires?

because to the best of my knowledge, homeowners insurance in California is not unobtainable

Are you also calling me oversensitive Damookster for I had the same complaint?

You do realize that all of Qatar is desert?

What I was really commenting on is, wouldn't it be more efficient to enclose those areas?

Probably. For the stadiums, I thought they did do that, not sure about the markets...
