I'm talking about people who don't want to abandon their homes. Insurance issues are a financial aspect of that, but it's not what I'm responding to.
is that if the government wasn't providing insurance, the cost of it would be so prohibitively expensive that most waterfront development would cease. Only the mega-rich would be able to afford living there.
As to your point, yes it is heartless to mock people who have lived in a region for generations for not wanting to leave. We used to admire the pluck of those who shrugged off whatever bad hand life dealt them and persevered. Too bad we stopped.
