Homes that are fucking made of paper, wood and polystyrene do not help

I have heard essentially one arguments for this so far: Anything will be blown away anyway, so why bother spending more money for a concrete structure?

To which I like to ask what the shelters are made of. Hmmm…

So that’s why Miami’s nickname is “Magic City”? No wonder

Homes are built with the materials that are readily available in the local area.

Yeah…but you can also make bricks, like, that would be a good argument if we were in any year before 1900, right now we mass produce 5nm CPUs in large scale and distribute them all over the world, but we can’t produce bricks to use for houses

Absolutely correct.

that would be a good argument if we were in any year before 1900 2100

Fixed it for you

USA can’t produce bricks to use for houses…

What? Why the fuck not?? Has clay and shale become scheduled substances?

They’re very clearly griping about the lack of them, not saying they are incapable…

I agree that they should use something sturdier. But do note that bricks won’t survive entirely either. Brick walls can withstand the wind itself, but won’t do well against large chunks of debree flying into them at significant speeds.

The federal government will be subsidizing Florida homeowners soon enough. Florida is politically important and it’s is everyone’s god-given right to move to somewhere warm when they retire and have their homes rebuilt at no cost to them every 5 years.

That is the exact funding written into FEMA rules at FEMAs inception.

It’s been hidden in plain sight from the beginning. It was always for the wealthy. The democrats just had the audacity to expect it to apply to every American.

Hey it’s not just Florida. Tornado Alley is also seeing massive insurance hikes.

The problem with Florida is that the state of Florida is now the insurer of the homes most at risk.

Same with California… and Texas, and Louisiana, and both Carolinas, and Hawaii.
