Post a commentHow long until all of the arrogant people with homes on the beach will be looking to the state or federal government to reimburse them for their own stupidity for buying a house on a naturally eroding site?

what do you expect longshanks, this is Obama-time, reward people who make bad decisions. I mean why get insurance when you can just get federal $$ to pay for a new home.
Batten down the hatches! Buy your bread/eggs/milk before it's too late!
Ummm, this has nothing to do with Obama. These rich people bought or built these homes years ago nitwit. They do have insurance for their million dollar homes. Maybe you should invest in a brain.
Hey LONGSHANKS, why are the people with homes on the beach arrogant? Did you ever think that a vast majority of them worked hard to make enough to buy them. Does hard work equal arrogance? That is a stupid statement...probably from a stupid person!!
yescadog, you're even a bigger moron than yeswecant. Perhaps you should invest in some comprehension skills. The arrogance comes from buying or building a home in a place that is naturally falling into the sea yet they expect the government to continue to spend taxpayer money to build up the naturally eroding beach so they can have continue to have their property. Yes that's arrogance. I can't believe that I had to explain that to you. Now STFU.
longshanks/shortwit, homeowners in flood zones like the shore pay for private insurance which covers them in the event of a flood. They don't get federal dollars. The people who suck our tax money during disasters are those who live in a flood zone (or below sea level) and choose NOT to pay for insurance, then don't accept the consequences when they don't evaculate. See: Katrina 2005.
Is it too late to get flood insurance?
Actually, the government longs to rebuild and replenish the beaches because the tax ratables from those imperiled seashore homes remain the highest in the nation. Year round population of barrier island communities make up about 2% of the tax base, but pay on average about 18 to 20% of the property taxes that are collected. One can't finger the homeowners, only, when one considers that building permits are awarded to the property owners by local officials elected by the populace at large. No doubt the tax revenues that come to the states from tourism and high-valued (and yes, high-risk) properties more than make up for the investments made to bolster the barrier islands. But these are just facts, and they should never get in the way of a good wingnut's argument.
Seriously how more jealous could you ppl be??? Get over it, they wanted a home down the shore, they found a way to get it. Im sorry if you are to dumb to even be able to save for a nice 1st home. However, these people atre entitled to as much for the BEAUTIFUL shore house as you are for your 1st home!
longshanks, don't be so cranky. My shore house will be fine, and the barrier islands on the NJ shore have been there for a few hundred years. If it floods, I have insurance. Life is too short for your vitriol, aspire to spend some time on the beach it'll calm your soul.
