Katrina-esque question - Those houses, built on the cliffs (and prone |
|
to mudslides) for the view; multi-million dollar homes.
Are those "disaster-waiting-to-happen" areas overwhelmingly Repuke?

In places like Malibu Canyon they burn or fall down hills regularly yet they continue to get federally subsidized disaster insurence. Of course the same could be said of those clifftop/ocean front mansions which get built to close to the edge then demand the government spend tens of millions to build a sea wall to protect their private mansions. That's not even counting how those sea walls end up destroying the beach via a speed up erosion process.
Then we have the idiots who build on river flood plains and expect the feds to bail them out when the river does its natural thing and floods on the flood plain.
