Yes. If I built in a place that, unless unreasonable engineering were applied, I couldn't sustain on, I would expect at some point that the rest of the American people would get sick of supporting my habits.
This includes close-shore properties, river flood areas, cliff edges, mudslide zones, valleys cut off in the winter by snow, and areas actually below sea level. I don't think we should bankrupt the rest of the country to rebuild this. I think there must be better, more permanent solutions to this problem than levees. But I could be wrong. Wasn't this last storm (Katrina) outside the 100 year storm reqs anyway?

However, I am of the opinion that the entire budget of the Army Corpse of Engineers should be spent restoring 100 year storm protection to all of southeast Louisiana and the rest of the country can rot for ACOE projects until that is done. They created the problem, so they need to fix it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:203508 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
