This Community Block Grant is not about who did or didn't have insurance.
The buyout program is a FEMA/HUD attempt to stifle any rebuilding efforts that might be undertaken in the LRZ.
The idea being to spend a little now in order to save a lot later.
This is a concept that has been used in other areas prone to natural disasters.
Obviously this wouldn't even be an issue if the County hadn't permitted subdivision platting, built roads, built infrastructure, issued building permits, etc.
