Of course building on coastlines should be stopped. They should have learned their history of hurricanes that wipped out entire towns, causes billions of dollars in damages, and ruin people's lives when they lose everything. They know where hurricanes are likely to strike, why not just move 10 miles inland? You will still be able to see the water when the next Mitch, Andrew, or Katrina hits, and suffer less than the people who don't have warning or are just to stupid to leave. The people who build their multi-million dollar condos on perfectly good land where lakes, forests, wetlands, and grasslands once stood deserve to let their mansions be destroyed. They might as well throw their money away or pay for the damages that have been done to the ecosystems. This is the worst way to go through a disaster, hoping that FEMA will come to the rescue and the insurance companies will hear their tearjerking story. I call it weather fraud, using natural disasters to eliminate mortages, house payments, and even getting compensation for houses not even damaged by storms.
