We need smaller government.
You might not get as much government “help” following a disaster but you’ll have more money and less interference as a trade off.
What? Didn’t Obama say that Big Government was there to help the tornado victims?
Anyone who believed that hopefully will wake up and smell the coffee when government agencies stand in their way. Just wait till ObamaCare kicks in and you or a loved one finds out that there is a serious health problem and Big Government is in charge.
Basically, you are stuck with RV parking or some single-wide trailer. Although I do agree...when the idiots of the city agreed in the first place to allow real estate development on a flood plain...they opened up the door themselves.
You need a naming system for the tornados.
Start with the Obama family, then work your way through the Democratic Party rolls.
Is there an Agenda 21/ICLEI connection to this? Seems to me it follows the spirit of A-21....
I’m going to blame big government, but for the opposite reason of most of the posts here. I’m sure that FEMA’s assumption is that the place will flood again and that the government will again cover the losses.
Make sure people know about the flood danger, make sure that before they see any FEMA money, they know that if the place floods and they’re wiped out, then they’re wiped out, period, including still having to pay off their mortgage, and then we can talk about using government money — once — to rebuild at that spot.
This is very common. Homes built where they shouldn’t be or that aren’t up to current code are left alone.
But if they are destroyed or severely damaged they must be brought up to current code.
Flood plain n OKC! hahahaha
designated as a flood way = our geologists say they’re oil under there, so we’ve gotta confiscate your land and turn it into a park to keep that dirty carbon off-limits.
Sounds like the government took their lands and owes them.
Is there a logical reason for requiring a building permit?
Also I was told a person cannot log their own lumber (from their property) to build a house...u have to buy lumber at a place like Lowe’s Hardware. What is the reasoning for this?
so many things the govt does that does not make sense to me.
Give the Gub’ment power over something and they WILL destroy it!
Uppity peasant wench acts like she owns the government's property...
