Now I'm not saying they shouldn't, what I'm suggesting is the homes they build even if does not conform what we expect a home to look like should be designed to deal with the environment. You live in the Midwest where hurricanes are common build a home with the majority of the home is below ground and what is above maybe 3D printed. You live in a flood zone build a home that is high enough to withstand any flooding. You live in a fire zone build something that is totally fire resistant. We all want the house with the white picket fence, but nature is not going to change for us, so we are going to have to change if we want to survive
"People flocking there" may be the EXACT problem, as in excessive population density. Also, a changing, warming climate could encourage higher winds than in the past.
