Tropical cyclones affect more humans than blizzards, in terms of inhabitable areas on the planet. Quite likely by an order of magnitude. Moving away from hurricane vulnerable areas would displace millions.

The point is that natural disasters happen everywhere, and that while there's a discussion to be had about the wisdom of New Orleans continuing to exist, nobody runs out screaming "I told you so" when a building collapses in San Diego due to an earthquake. The complaint is focused only on the Southeastern United States.
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*

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

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

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?

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

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...
