9. The mindset is...

A)- The waters aren't rising.

B)- If the waters do rise, I'll either be dead by then or find a way to bail out.

A lot of these places are second or third homes, so people are taking the financial risk but not worried about being homeless.

Back in Joisey, even in places where there were hundred year floods every 25 years, people kept on buying those riverfront houses. Damned if I know why.
