Originally posted by Letizia B.: If they can't afford any kind of homeowner's insurance, then sure, that's sad. But to be able to get fire insurance, and not have the common sense to also get insured for water damage... I don't know.
Flood insurance costs A LOT down there, much more than fire insurance. I doubt the poor or even middle class in New orleans could've afforded it. And in many cases flood insurance is SIMPLY NOT available.
