Y'know, places like that, Jamaica, Cuba, the RD (Dominican)... they're gorgeous. Coastlines are great, beautiful palm trees, etc etc.
However, when you're making yourself live through storm after storm... either build a better house, or move.
More money is wasted on rebuilding these places than I can really count, and we wonder why insurance premiums on all fronts are going up steadily.
I'm not saying we shouldn't help them, I'm just saying you don't build a house in the middle of a lava flow field, or in the Antarctic just because "the view's spectacular, and there's noone around for miles".
A hurricane is just another destructive force of nature. Why keep rebuilding in the path of something you know is going to eradicate you next year?
