Both are invalid - sure it needs to be fast - which is why they should practice this. Temporary means they plan to pick it up after practice. They should do yearly drills in different parts of the world (obviously with permission of the host country) just to prove they can.

The US military should know this. They should be able to build piers like this while under active fire. This is one of the things we need for a world war style invasion (think WWII d-day)
They had all of Bidens presidency. They should have a plan in place already. If they can show the court the plan is reasonable and they have been working on it for a while and are making progress then fine I'll wait. But they need to show they were seriously trying.
Don't forget to account for the rent if you don't finance a house.
The other thing missing is you need to live somewhere now. You also have other considerations - if you are starting a family you typically will need to have a place for the family to live and that forces you to buy now. This is why most deflation arguments fail - people need to live, so they will buy food, and shelter (including clothing). People will replace their broken down car. People will buy toys if they can afford it.
Even if you can buy the house for $200k next year, you don't know that the price will go down - I've seen prices go down and then go back up more than once in my life. Maybe you get unlucky, but maybe you bought the bottom, you have no idea what inflation/deflation will do in 5 years and only educated guesses for next year.
The Apple II sold for $1298 in 1977. You can buy a mac mini for $599 today. Deflation is real in some markets and we are just fine.
Town and counry minivan.
where I like salt gets the body before the engine goes. I have 220k on one and it is starting to rust through.
Right, I'm saying the big one isn't coming - and even if it comes you won't survive so what is the point.
They did - but it was a lot more work - (and often mistakes were made) and that means costs were higher. Or more likely they didn't do the work as often and so it was a lot longer before they discovered problems.

Exactly. Either you can tear it down before the storm hits (good weather prediction needed) then rebuild it fast afterwards; or you build it to withstand storms. I guess there is the just scrap it after every storm - but then you need to rebuild it fast and cheap which this wasn't.
