As long as we’re on the topic, what gives with people who build where they probably know they shouldn’t be building?
They put a million-dollar home next to the ocean and then cry and get indignant when zoning authorities and insurance companies balk at rebuilding and continued coverage after it gets washed away by a no longer rare storm of the century?
I understand the desire to be close to the water, but is there any practical thinking going on, given the increasing likelihood of a dangerous storm rendering your dream home a pile of matchsticks, or at best leaving your fortress the only building left standing up and down the shoreline, and leaving you the poster child for stubbornness and an outsized sense of entitlement?
Practicality and wisdom go right out the window. And maybe out to sea.
