oh, really? how many houses have been burnt to the ground in CA since august 2005 (katrina)?
given the initial cost of houses in CA and what property taxes cost every year...and the cost of fire insurance i doubt "your area" is "cheaper".
also, bino, you are confusing a natural disaster (fire) with a man-made disaster (the flooding of new orleans).
the city of new orelans survived hurricne katrina. the flooding happened AFTER karina had passed by the city; when the FEDERAL DESIGNED, BUILT AND MAINTAINED flood control system failed to live up to it's design specifications and promises.
blame the United States Corps of Engineers, not hurricane katrina for the flooding (and the associated costs) of new orleans!
lmao at a flood being man made.
no point in further debate
