Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

That becomes difficult when their homes are now uninsurable. If they can't find a ~~sucker~~ buyer to take it off their hands for enough that they can afford one elsewhere, they're stuck. The govt absolutely needs to step in. If only to save money on disaster relief efforts in future.
I agree that the government ought to step in and just buy the house from them so that they can move to somewhere they're not going to be flooded all the damn time.
Edit: As you mentioned above, if they bought it, they could knock it down to save on disaster relief later.
