Better to regulate than to let developers build in a designed flood zone, as Houston did.

They're stilling tallying the damages from the recent flooding there and it's in the billions.

Also, Chicago is one of the bluest cities in the country. It's even bluer than Los Angeles or San Diego, both of which have sizable conservative populations.

That's one of the first things I check when I'm renting. I don't live in flood zones, even if they're levee'd.

if you loose your 150K house in Houston, maybe you have a bit of a financial setback. If you loose your house in SF, you'll face financial bankrupcy because your losses are so much higher. Earthquaker insurance will cost you a huge amount.
