why should they rebuild SoCal houses before Katrina houses bino?
why don't they have the FUNDING do accomplish this task for their population that elect them as government..
where is this money being spended that these people can't have homes??
also regardless of this information alone.. the way your gov has been ran in the past I don't know.. 4 years isn't exactly awesome.. the american people should be pissed for the SAKE of their well being.. it's your economy that is going to shit.. it's you who has to worry about paying more whenever you travel anywhere in the world.. not to mention a plethera of other various problems..

In the US we have something called insurance that home owners can purchase to cover potential losses.....Some of us are smart and rent, why should I subsidize people that don't have the foresight to protect their investment or choose to live below sea level on the coast. The US isn't a socialist state....FriendlyCanadian said:

Well I'm obviously assuming they are going to rebuild Socal homes without ins before they rebuild katrina homes without ins.
I'm assuming this is insurance asside..
I hear what you're saying about the coastline though..
Bino I was assuming it was insurance aside, anyhow I'd still be pissed off at my government regardless of the fact.

I have to lol@this. I'd imagine that less than 2% of renters own businesses for one, or even stocks for that matter. Two, rent never stops! I have two places, one will be paid off in about 6 years, the other 9 years. So by the time I'm 41 I'll have two houses paid in full. My "rent" stops, all I do is pay taxes on the land. And if I continue to rent one house out, I might not even need a part time job unless I want extra money. So I fail to see how renting is the way to go. Renters never stop paying, and rent will continue to go up via inflation. Its a nice story/article, but I'm just not buying it... or should I say renting it?

Almost half of Americans own stocks(401k's etc). Taxes never stop...home maintenance never stops....Buy a house because you want one, not because it's a good invesment.PuddleMonkey said:I have to lol@this.

I lease cars so my car payment never stops either but it's still a better financial deal than owning for me. PS It's a lot easier to move when your GF finds out where you live when renting.
You're a vehicle leaser on top of it? Fuck, I give up, you're out of control.

another brilliantly retarded(i created this word for you) thread by HD
most of the so cal houses were 500k+, meaning they have at least a little money....and not underwater. im willing to bet almost all these people had decent homeowners insurance, which protects against what.....fire!!!
many of the new orleans homes weren't owned, were affected by water (probably would need a flood policy for that) and were in the ghetto.

lease = nice tax write off if you have a corp or LLC.
which is why i do it....plus i like to change cars every few years
the difference ya'll seem to be forgetting is:
the flooding that desimated much of new orleans happened AFTER hurricane katrina had come and gone.
the flooding happened because of the failure of the flood control levies, BUILT AND MAINTAINED by the United States Corps of Engineers, a federal agency.

They shouldnt rebuild SoCal or katrina houses. That's a private matter between the insurance and the owners. So because a natural disaster happens in a risky area (it's not like flooding or fire was unknown and/or unsuspected) means they should get a free ride but those who lose their house to a regular fire without insurance shouldn't ?

This is what I'm saying. I'm actually so sick of americans attitudes that I'm heavily considering moving out. Here is my point, live in a house below sea level behind a damn built by the governmet years ago or live in a house in one of the dryest areas of the country in that has a history of burning and then expect the rest of the people of the united states to take care of you when the "possible" happens? I belong to a country full of spoiled citizens who will more rapidly turn on the government during hard times than support them during good. The same citizens who live life to the fullest during good times without planning for hard times ahead. I feel bad for them but don't believe we need a socialist thought process here.

Just adding my two cents...Most of the areas (malibu, valencia, arrowhead, san diego) that burnt down were million dollar homes, You can bet they had insurance. Insurance pays to rebuild. No insurance no rebuild. I do not agree with any government agency rebuilding homes for free. FEMA provides public assistance in a disaster. Right now the damage in so cal is estimated over 1 billion dollars. It's shitty there are still so many displaced families from Katrina. I am waiting to see what happens with this on top of the housing crash.
your federal tax dollars paid to have these faulty levies built and "maintained" by the U.S. Corps of Engineers.Megalomaniac said:
IF they (corps of engineers) had done their job properly the massive flooding of new orleans and the lagging federal money sent here would not have happened.
you DO know that parts of NYC on long island, washington DC and other areas are below sea level, don't you?
why aren't you commenting on the dry rot, inefficiency and bungling of the corps of engineers instead?

I'm not going to get into the reason why they were built, that all comes down to government contracts and someone wanting to make money at that time.
I do not, nor will not live in NYC, Long Island, DC or any other area below sea level or behind damns/levies(ie the Sac area next to over flowing rivers). To me this is just dumb and asking for trouble. Kinda like being in a bar where there is a fight and trying to get in close to the action, you will probably get hit.
As far as the Corp, they are an US government agency. All government agencies have fraud, waste and abuse and are miss mangaged. Trust me I'm employed by them and witness it everyday so I don't expect any thing less.

I was just talking to my best friend tonight about New York having a 26% chance of being hit by a category three hurricane in the next fifty years and the havoc that would cause.rnch said:
PS The levies were never designed for a hurricane of Katrina's category and it was proven decades earlier larger hurricanes could effect NO and the Louisiana and NO politicians did nothing? The army only acts at the behest of the civilian government.

If they do it is because the people there had insurance and took care of their business and didn't rely on the government to fix their problems.
A big reason why the Katrina victims are not rebuilding that quick is that they are having too much fun committing crimes in other cities and are too busy to move back to rebuild.
Besides, would you rather rebuild in a racist city where the mayor says it needs to remain a Chocolate city, and where the murder rate is near the top of the nation, or on the West Coast where people are not murdering each other for a nickel bag?
It's really very simple - there's nothing to prevent fire, there's nothing to fix prior to rebuilding the houses in SoCal while in NO there's a massive coastal restoration project necessary prior to even considering the clean up and rebuilding on a single house that in my opinion no one seems to even want to touch.
Why rebuild when the problem that did protect the city from the flood has never been repaired?
As a side note you can't compare Louisiana to New York City (Manhattan) - they're just geologically different.

LOL @ trusting the feds too look out for you.... Ever hear the old joke,"I'm from the federal government, I'm here to help."rnch said:flood control was/is the responsibility of the FEDERAL agency AKA the United States Corps of Engineers........not the local politicians.
Here is a local example, nuclear power plant shuts down due to safety issues. Later it's rescheduled to go back on line but there are still concerns about its safety from locals. The locals write letters to their representative and the representative gets the NRC to terminate the restart until a closer investigation determines it's safe.
