Then we should also say the same for most of coastal California and most of the shorefront along the Atlantic below Virginia.
There was a housing development in my town built along a stream that would flood severely on average every 20 years when the snows melted. Happened a few years ago, and these nice new homes were ruined. They took the FEMA money and paid the developers *not* to rebuild there; the town owns the land, and it is slated for park development.
