    It never ends- people have to have their riverfront home or their levee-shielded business. Then they fight about being in a special flood hazard area. Then they whine because
    1) nobody told them they could ever possibly be underwater
    2) the flood insurance was too expensive
    3) and the government won’t bail them out as fast as an automaker.
    Econ 101, folks: There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

    Yes, it benefits the community if it accepts it, but if it does not accept it, it has no effect….. Haaaa

    what he failed to mention is that if a community doesn’t accept the new flood maps, they become non-particpatory in the NFIP…

    What’s your best market for non-participating communities? I lost both of my markets last year.
