They rebuilt New Orleans, still below sea level. Those fires in California are just a regular thing, Florida’s Hurricane season is just an annual cycle. Should people living in places that get constantly hit by the same natural disaster be eligible for Federal assistance? Seems like a lost cause, building something over and over knowing that it will just be knocked down again.

Give me a break. Stop trying to act smart and have some care for people that are going through these disasters. Just don't expect me to have any sympathy for you when your house is destroyed by a natural disaster in your perfect little world.

Is that really hard to understand?

Why do people live in a trailer parks in Kansas?
This could get very existential but obviously you don't have the brains for it. Did you get struck by lightening kissing the telephone poll?

The alternative is for all of us to go to that one tiny place that is blessed not to suffer any cataclysm - then I expect someone like you can ask why do humans have to destroy everything?

Because some people just thrive on danger and apparently like drama? Believe me if you moved to Vermont you would complain it was to cold? and would want to move to Florida? or California?
