"The National Flood Insurance Program (subsidized by taxpayers in Puna)"
How many people in Puna pay Federal Taxes ?
Most of the cost is paid for with premiums.
While they do allow rebuilding in some cases they finally put their foot down and say "No more"
My hometown in Ohio gets flooded almost every year.FEMA finally came in and issued an ultimatum.Either let us raise your houses up and build a 12 foot high concrete first floor that you can't use for anything,let us buy you out and demolish your home or you agree that you are on your own.
The Fire Dept used grants and FEMA money to move out of the flood zone.Most of the businesses were torn down.
A few home owners stayed as is and they just move their stuff to the 2nd floor when floods come.
2 or 3 were raised up and they look really weird.
Here is a link to the new fire house if you aren't afraid of Facebook. FYI this is a town of 2000 people and grants paid for all of this fine fire equipment.
