Why do people choose to live in hurricane zones?

[SandyCat]

What do they think is gonna happen every hurricane season?

 

[Squishie PP]

Either:
- Born there and too poor to leave
- Retired and near death anyways
- Rich enough to own properties in other areas to fall back on
- Employed in the local industry and too lazy to leave
- Retardation

What an insensitive question to all the people dying rn, smh fr

 

[Spud]

They have gazed upon the eye of the dragon and in doing so conquered the despair it wrought.

 

[Just A Fat Round Bird]

Dunno, maybe they are just big fans of swirly air.

Why do people choose to live in war torn shitholes like palestine, afghanistan, syria, iran, iraq, etc. etc.?

No snow?

 

[ZsaZsaBinks]

They like the beach.

 

[Robert Cummings]

I want to die.

Surfing. I miss the ocean if I'm not near it (relatively), and the west coast sucks. As to what I think will happen, usually it's some decent swells and the tourists all fuck off.

 

[Moths]

Because the hurricane demands sacrifice and I shall provide!

 

[Absolutego]

Because outside of the occasional really bad storm in the late summer/early fall it's a tropical paradise?
This is like asking why anyone decided to farm/ranch in Tornado Alley, or live near the Cascade mountains along the Ring of Fire. Or anywhere along the San Andreas fault.
Natural disasters are a fact of life pretty much everywhere. Even New England gets absolutely swamped by nor'easters from time to time.

The midwest outside of tornado-prone areas is pretty safe. The worst we get is... minor flooding occasionally? Snow storms?

The greatest disaster is a tie between the salt and the people who think 4WD means they should continue driving 60mph during the heavy snowfall.
