re: Brandon wants to raise flood insurance 500% !?!?!

if its high its because the risk is high. others shouldnt have to bail you and others out for terrible decisions. Just like i shouldnt have to pay higher insurance cost for those that choose not to get it.

my house was built in 1953. and it’s still at the original height.
it has never had a single drop of floodwater inside of it.
but because i live in a “high risk” flood zone, i pay ridiculous amounts for flood insurance.

i personally know if multiple people that live in areas that do not even require it that have flooded twice due to rains.


sure i live on the coast.
but it takes the right hurricane hitting in the right spot for me to get flooded.

could it happen? absolutely it could.

but you know what’s even more likely to happen?
having a shitload of rain fall out of the skies over Louisiana.
