Why do people keep trying to live in areas that Mother Nature destroys on a regular basis?

They rebuilt New Orleans, still below sea level. Those fires in California are just a regular thing, Florida鈥檚 Hurricane season is just an annual cycle. Should people living in places that get constantly hit by the same natural disaster be eligible for Federal assistance? Seems like a lost cause, building something over and over knowing that it will just be knocked down again.Why do people keep trying to live in areas that Mother Nature destroys on a regular basis?
Name one place that mother nature can't destroy? Is it fantasy land? There is none.Why do people keep trying to live in areas that Mother Nature destroys on a regular basis?

This could get very existential but obviously you don't have the brains for it. Did you get struck by lightening kissing the telephone poll?


Natural disasters happen all over the world time and time again.


Is not LA flooding once again?
The alternative is for all of us to go to that one tiny place that is blessed not to suffer any cataclysm - then I expect someone like you can ask why do humans have to destroy everything?
Give me a break. Stop trying to act smart and have some care for people that are going through these disasters. Just don't expect me to have any sympathy for you when your house is destroyed by a natural disaster in your perfect little world.
Because some people just thrive on danger and apparently like drama? Believe me if you moved to Vermont you would complain it was to cold? and would want to move to Florida? or California?
Because people built communities in the past in these areas because Irrigation (water), Food (fish), access to travel by boat, employment. They continue to live here because of foundations built by past communities and that are available today.
If they didn't were would the majority of us live.I live on a flood plain and most of my town is built on one but it hasn't happend yet I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Name one place that doesn't have something.





Floods or mudslides, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, blizzards, droughts, fires.





Name one place that doesn't have something destructive.





Yes, we've done some things that make it worse, and it would be wiser to take things into account more intelligently, but there's no avoiding natural disasters.





Why do people not leave the homes they love, and the communities they're part of?





Is that really hard to understand?
Is there a place where disasters don't happen?
