I think they are also still building beach homes in California with little regard for the encroaching ocean and homes on seaside cliffs that are being eroded by sea level rise. Developers have no shame and will do anything for a buck and towns/cities are so enthralled by rising population growth (ugh) that can boost their economies that they will do anything to entice folks.

Wait, $336k is considered affordable?? Affordable housing when the average home price is just $50k more? That’s insane! As for building in floodplains and wetlands πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ 😫😀😑. Folks lose their homes, neighborhoods are destroyed, and we, the American people pay. Every blessed time. Not the developers. Seriously, we need to stop reimbursing for rebuilds in places that should not have buildings in the first place. (Hello most of Florida!!) but this has to start with stopping developers, and stopping local governments that allow no regulation.
