A significant portion of Texas and Florida need to realize that these damaging events aren't going to stop happening, and they need to either build stronger, or leave if that's not possible.

If I built a house that could not manage a foot of snow on it's roof in Maine without collapsing, and every year it collapsed got a big check from the feds to rebuild the exact same structure in the exact same place, surely someone would be willing to tell me I'm being stupid?

It's literally Einstein's definition of "insanity"

That definition of insanity was not invented by Einstein, nor did he ever say it.

NB: Sandy did not affect Texas and had very minimal effects on Florida.

Texas and Florida might need changes, but losses from Sandy aren’t the reason.
