Common Sense

It just doesn't make sense to build on areas near mountain tops, oceans and large waterways. I cannot imagine what a loss this is for all the families who lost property and possessions in Hurricane Sandy or Katrina. My heart goes out to all of them.

Much of the money used will be federal money, our tax dollars. I want to know people are safe. All resources are valuable; we must cut down on wasteful spending.  To rebuild in these areas is wasteful.  It is also dangerous.  Why not use this an an opportunity to build safely.  To build SUSTAINABLY.  To take this horrible event and turn it around. 

I'm really concerned about these coastal communities.  I wouldn't own anything near them.  Or building on fault lines.  It just makes common sense.
