    Oh don’t let it bother you, that is just one of the results of a couple of the administrations new cabinet members doing business as usual, namely Locke and Sims. Just goes to show that no amount of gevernment controls and interventions will surplace good old common sense. Can’t speak for the schezoid results of king county elections.

    Most of the affected people are not in a “flood zone.” This is a perfect example of why NFIP expanded coverage to anyone, regardless of whether they are in a flood zone or not. This is a case of dam that could give way and send a wall of water through a community.

    If it were not for the “gevernment controls and interventions” these people would have no insurance option at all, as the article makes clear. But I guess that’s just not “common sense.”

    Correction: The maximum amount of residential contents coverage available under the National Flood Insurance Program is $100,000 not $250,000.
