WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE TO BUILD HOMES IN A TORNADO CORRIDOR...


[+] ballot by forgetmenot

...And then act shocked when foreseen tornadoes wreck their homes and take lives?

It’s the same as sticking your hand in a beehive and SURPRISE!! getting stung.



They think it will happen to their neighbors and not them.
They have a really good insurance policy and do this as a write off.
They have a death wish.
They are just not that smart.
The right price
No other place to go
same reasons for tthose who build homes in hurricane areas
They be thrill seekers looking for the ultimate blow.

Voted : They are just not that smart.
This I believe.
Voted : The right price
Safer then the inner city.
A huge part of the United States would be uninhabited

Voted : They are just not that smart.
Cause they are poor. Most of people killed in natural disasters are poor anywhere in the world. In this case, comparatively poor people living in mobile houses and unprotected structures bore the brunt of tornadoes.
If you are born poor it is not your mistake but if you grow up to be poor, it is definitely your mistake

What about those people who REBUILD Multi Million Dollar Homes on edge mountains too close to the sea or in areas Forrest fires occur yearly, they have the means to build elsewhere, how dumb are they putting their families safety in danger for a nice view?
Some are dumb when given a choice. Some don't have a choice. How many people die in forest fires. Compare it with people killed in Tornadoes.
And all know who REBUILDS Multi Million Dollar Homes on edge mountains too close to the sea or in areas Forrest fires occur yearly

I think the map shows too many people would have to relocate , and where would they go?
Relocation is not always a choice
They can leave the mobile homes for traditional homes with basement and strong foundations if they can't go anywhere.

^ yes homes with strong foundations would save many
Voted : same reasons for tthose who build homes in hurricane areas
And on major fault lines~

'They can leave the mobile homes for traditional homes with basement and strong foundations',

A novel idea but hardly practical. A stick built home on a basement foundation is appraised at around $300,000.00, on a 1/4 acre most anywhere in the country.

Most people who live in mobile homes and trailers live in manufactured housing communities and in parks, on a rented lot. They live here because they can own their own affordable home. What they can't afford is a $300,000.00 estate.

Voted : They be thrill seekers looking for the ultimate blow.
should move to Canada, even natural disasters ignore us
