Be careful about wanting the government to take over more land area. The federal government already owns 30% of the land area in this country. Like higher property taxes? Every acre the government takes possession of comes off the tax roles. Which means the remaining privately held property pays more to make up the difference. Government held property produces no wealth (money), quite the opposite it costs money to maintain and administer. That means higher income tax. And add to the cost they are forever creating reasons to restrict our access to "their" land.
Now I would not personally live in an area that got hit by hurricanes every couple years, but if people choose to live in these areas with the full knowledge of the probability of disaster, well good luck.
In fact where can one live where mother nature can't slap you down? Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods, etc. can get anyone of us depending where we live.
Personally, concerning flood insurance, maybe we should end the program. Folks continue to live in these high risk areas partly because they know they will not take a loss if a flood occurs. Pay the insurance, and if it happens we will get a new house. If they knew it would all be gone forever I'll bet a lot of folks would choose not to live in those areas.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
