Courtney,
Try the mid-west, northeast, and anywhere that is not below sea level and more than 1 mile from the shore. I live in NY. We had 12 feet of snow in 3 days here, are we asking for a hand out? No, we chose to live here so we deal with the responsibilities of our decision. You chose to enjoy the weather and the beach while we were shoveling snow, now don't try to have us help you because you were unprepared to deal with your choice. If you want to enjoy 12 months of warm weather don't expect those of us who have 3 good months of weather to bail you out. It's all a trade off, you can't just pick the good times and whine when things turn bad. Insure yourself properly and hope that most of your neighbors do also. After your next huricane season when your state fund is bankrupt and your assessment is in the thousands then you can ask again why the rest of us don't want to finance your life style.
