Why the heck would you build/live in a know disaster prone area, one
that has a history of problems, or in the case of new development areas,
one that shows all the signs of being a problem area like all the others
like it - and then expect the state/feds to bail your sorry asses out
for your own stupidity?

because the state/feds have a history of bailing them out.
with proper photo opportunities taken advantage of while
bailing out the victims, the minds of voters can be influenced
to see wonderful acts of a compassionate government at work
serving people.

its really more about creating the proper disaster by developing
area presenting rescue opportunities. ie: NC coastal development.
