Who cares about the place, what about the people? Why should we encourage people to continue to rebuild in a location that is going to threaten their lives?
What does "the place" have culturally that isn't brought by the people? It's the people who matter--and if they want to put their lives and their families' lives on the line for a place, then they're welcome to, but it's not my job to buy them a third house when the second one gets washed away.
