If you want destinations to be reachable for vacations, scientific work, industrial work, and commerical work, you need people to live there. Someone is going to have to live in dangerous areas. And since we all benefit in small ways from having a population thats spread out as opposed to stacked up and living in super safe arcologies, all of us will have to live with the fact that we have to help lend a hand with our wallets from time to time.

My grandparents have totally lost their home near the gulf West of Biloxi to this storm. But its not like it happens every year to them, they lost one near the same spot in Camille 36 years ago. (They are a good 10 mile as the crow flies from the Gulf, 20 miles driving time.) So helping people rebuild houses every 36 years may be the price we have to pay to not abandon all the near coast line of the South for one big mega city in South Dakota.

Edit: West not East. Normally I have a good sense of direction, must be getting old.
