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.
