As long as payments are going to be made – one way or the other – why doesnt the gov require that homeowners be forced to buy houseboats?
I read somewhere that river communities in Europe have houses that are capable of rising several feet, with utilities on a tether, allowing them to maintain livablity during an inundation. Seems like a smart thing to do.
Oh, wait a minute – this is the government. Nevermind.
If the government can (or proposes to) buyout all these communities along the Mississippi, why not the coasts to prevent the disaster-rebuild cycle there? “…rebuild smarter and stronger”…unless it’s coastal, then develop it with even more potential for disaster!

Where does the money come from to ‘buyout’ these properties?
