No one who builds near the coast or flood plains should be insured
Yes BUT new construction is different from people just living there.
These ones are the FEMA insurance. I don't want to subsidize wealthy shitheads rebuilding right next to water over and over. As long as rebuild counts as new construction this makes sense to me, help people move away.
Nope, no insurance
Eh that’s just screwing people over
Stop building where it’s known to flood. It’s a no brainer. Nobody getting screwed except the citizens insurance paying to fix flooded homes WHERE IT IS KNOWN TO FLOOD

If anyone wants to visit before it's gone, Austin's seafood is right by this location on the other side of the road. It's fantastic. Even though they're frozen I highly recommend the gator sausages.
Oh darn
