" The insurance premiums reflect the risk.  If they don't, sooner or later 
" the insurance company will fail.  If the insurance premiums are too high 
" for an area, people will move. 

this assumes folks in high-risk areas actually buy the insurance, and
don't count on whining loudly enough to their local govts to get their
areas declared disasters making them eligible for federal relief [new
orleans].

most of new orleans deserved to be rebuilt, but the lower 9th ward -
which afaik got the worst flooding and heaviest damage - was a swamp 5
decades ago.  it should be a swamp again.  new orleans would also be
helped if they un-leveed the river below the city and let flood
sediment rebuild the delta again.
