I agree with this guy. When people choose their own fate, myselfOn that theme, is the Florida governor going to turn his back on his years of small government, everyone is responsible for their choices, conservative rhetoric and embrace sucking at the DC teat? And how will he justify his change of heart?
included, I have a problem feeling sorry for them when it doesn't turn
out well. The way we behave I expect that most of the homes and
businesses that were wiped out will be replaced by new homes and
businesses on the same spot because the infrastructure is already there.
The biggest complication will probably be insurance. Most of the
people who lost their homes did not have flood insurance. It is unlikely
that it will become easier to get flood insurance in those areas.
"This will get lost in the GD thread. I just have a hard time and need
to rant over this Ian bullshit"
The main idea:
"DON'T MOVE TO FLORIDA unless you're willing to go back to school and
learn about where you're living. I am very very serious about that. The environment of Florida owes you nothing, and it's not just storms. While
it is beautiful, especially in its natural state, while it has some kind
of "Disney" other worldliness that a cornfield or an urban row of same
'ole same 'ole homes needing mowed, raked and shoveled of snow year
after year, a seasonal monotony of a working lifetime that would
naturally be envious of Florida then DEFINITELY DO NOT MOVE to the coast unless you are seriously going to change your life, unless you are going
to educate yourself and LEARN and RESPECT where you're about live."

My parents moved to the Fort Meyers area after they retired. They
didn't live near the ocean, but I still end up wondering if their former
home survived Ian.
