As one of the afore mentioned "move away" people, I don't think anyone is proposing that we vacate large areas of the country. Speaking for myself, I'm of the opinion that you should be able to afford the cost of living in the area you've chosen to reside in, whether or not you've moved there recently or been a lifelong resident.
I also don't mind paying a few extra dollars to help my fellow Americans. I've donated to United Way all my adult life, and have made contributions to Red Cross and other organizations after several catastrophes.
What I do object to is having the government mandate via taxes that I support and subsidize the cost of living in areas of the country with higher exposures to disaster than I myself have chosen to live in and voluntarily accept.
Take on the responsibility for yourself and pay your own way!
