The homeowners and the cities are playing the federal taxpayers as fools.
We federal taxpayers thru FEMA rebuild their houses for free.
There is no incentive to pay insurance premiums if FEMA gives you a new house every few years.
Another example is the Katerina hotels. As long as FEMA pays the hotel bills, why leave ?

Yeah, I know. The irony is that if an isolated case of only one or a few disastrous results, FEMA rarely does anything. Why is it that hundreds or thousands of homes that get wiped out by a hurricane get paid for but those that say get hit as only one of a few in some other nature event never get squat.
Not that I'm in favor of this nonsense, but if it's taxpayer funded, shouldn't it apply to all Americans regardless of whether or not they're "one-sy" situations or big disasters.
