Florida is not prepared. If Scott really were concerned about Florida,
he'd be spearheading a statewide effort to stop development in low-lying
coastal areas, and begin a process of condemning and tearing down
susceptible structures in those areas, outlawing mobile homes, and
slowing growth generally.

That would be political suicide in a state that has millions of people
living in coastal areas. Many of us moved here exactly for the
opportunity to live on waterfront property. It's a calculated risk
that require constant juggling, just like for the people who choose to
live in the Caribbean.

I have no problem with the idea that the person taking that risk
should pay appropriately to get someone to insure them.
