If someone builds or buys a house in a flood zone, tornado alley, New Orleans, or any other such meteorologically disadvantageous locale and it is consequently destroyed should the taxpayer be liable for fixing it?

Yes if we allow them to build there.

Don't forget earthquake prone areas. Or drought and blizzards for farmers. Well crap, we're all screwed. Let's just kill each other off.

I believe it's called insurance for a reason.

Yes that's called helping each other but every single house that's built in one of those places is destroyed. I live in the Cenami zone. If I should be trapped in my house I would definitely DO NOT want someone risking their life to rescue me.

Help shouldn't come at the point of a gun. Habitat for Humanity is help. Volunteers are help.

Your system creates monstrosities like the Road Home Program in New Orleans that didn't help anyone except some politically connected business folks.

I have a problem with house right on the ocean. Some have been destroyed several times and rebuilt with your dollar.

Here you're not allowed to build on the ocean. We are 2 miles inland.

Tops! That's the way it should be. When the sea is lapping on your front door on a nice day that's a problem! But it prime property here on the east coast. But Sandy was a real bad event!

Felt so bad for everybody when that happened. Up the coast you'll see people that have their houses built way out and I think of the song my kids thing in Sunday school. Foolish is the man that builds his house on sand.

YES,or: If they survive they should be put in chains & put on display as an example of what type of humans are unacceptable. The only tax money spent to rehouse them would be like a traveling freak show of losers. (Home losers)

Because if something bad damaged you & it was your fault, helping you recover, is why we are human. Plus we don't like looking at hardship cases, pain & suffering is getting really old already. Try something new,when you know better, you do better.

Tornado alley can't apply, that's about 20 whole states. If it's a recurring area of disasters it should all be rebuilt with private insurance.

That would be a problem but I'm sure you can. Homes & business' on the beach in MS that were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina that rebuilt can still get insurance. It's very expensive though.

Where I am in CA we're always on fire. People can rebuild but the can't or won't pay for the separate fire insurance again. Same w/earthquake insurance. If you own a condo you can't get ins. Unless every unit does. It's a one time use for sure.

Rebel76 it's not your problem. No one is going to force you to help. You shouldn't care if the majority of other people will help because they really,want to. Stop trying to dictate your morals.You can't control people just because you think you know

Oh rebel no. Just because the system was established without your input-AKA no one asked you or if they had asked you; you would of done it differently. Or you still should have a choice when that chance is gone. Doesn't mean it's being forced on you

You have to have home insurance.Then you can buy a separate insurance for disaster, it's not always mandatory. A lot of people will only get the required. Knowing that if tragedy struck they would get helped anyway.
