I'm not here to chastise, so please don't flame me because I really feel sorry for those that got hit bad by Sandy and God bless that there was not a huge amount of lives lost...

My issue is the islands are IMO what I would call barrier islands against mother nature.  I think that islands off the coasts of any state should not be built on as such events like Sandy, leave billions in damages all because ppl want beachfront property. Damages from events like Sandy also drive insurance rates up.  I really cannot understand why ppl would want to live on the coastline, especially today with storms being so intense these days, and the threats of beach errosion.

Does anyone else agree or disagree...i'm just wanting to know eveyones feelings on this.
