@weirdestate IIRC, this is a legacy of business interests meddling with politics. There's a national hurricane insurance scheme in the US, that will pay to rebuild your house after it's destroyed by a hurricane. But *only* if you rebuild it in the same place. If you choose to build somewhere less vulnerable, you get nothing. Combine that with houses being built on barrier islands, which naturally move around quite a bit over the years, and you end up with absurd situations like this.
