Why are huge cities allowed to develop when they are close enough to a shoreline that they can easily be impacted by hurricanes? Why do major insurance companies not simply refuse to underwrite shoreline properties when they know that loss is not if, but when? Why does the government step in to protect properties that private insurance no longer wants to cover? Why was a major city like New Orleans developed that was below sea level? A port town is understandable, but major universities? research hospitals? a large business district? All protected from ocean waters by manmade levees. It makes no sense.
Update 9/15--And as my mom so ably commented: Why do people expect to be rescued when they refuse the orders to evacuate?
