Hey John, I understand where you're going... but, why should anyone be allowed to build a house on the mouth of a volcano??? Sounds absurd, but I'm sure someone has thought about it! I formerly lived in the foothills in Utah... one particular area had been restricted from development for nearly a hundred years. Well, someone bought the land and then tormented the city & county until they were finally allowed to put in a small development. About two years after it was finished, a mud slide took out every house!!! I know most areas of the country are subject to some form of natural disaster but, in California, buildings are required to be built to withstand earthquakes... in the south, buildings can be constructed to minimize damage from tornadoes... you get my drift. With so much land available, why should people be allowed to build a house in a flood plain??? Just because we CAN do something, doesn't mean we should! Regards, DL
