Why wouldn't this be an option for anyone that was affected by Sandy and not just Middlesex County residents?

In order for it to work they need to create large areas that will not be rebuilt. In many Monmouth County communities every other house may not want to be rebuilt and the problem is not solved. These Middlesex County communties have been getting devastated with floods for years and years and the residents are ready to leave.

Christie loves him some Middlesex.

where do i get the paper work

i am been pounding the table for months about time common sense is coming around. If u dont take the buyout ur on ur own give these proprties back to its rightful owner ....mother nature and save us all tons of money and grief!!

everytime i proposed this i was mocked on this site maybe people are starting to realize their arrogance and have accepted the fact that some of these towns should be returned to nature humans can not impose its will on mother nature. Cut ur loses take the buyout save us all billions od dollars and heartache

commonman, the only reason you may feel mocked by your ideas is because of the way you present them. Your post are viewed by all as crude. You dont offer solutions to anyone instead you rant about what everyone should do , because... Because you said so. Act less like an angry parent and more like a real commonman and your posts will get the respect they deserve.

tom i have put the solution up here many times its take ur buyout and move what more do u need. and my post are not crude they are blunt which people need to hear in times of stress not the nonsense that everything is the govt fault and money will fix it. sometimes when someone is in denial they need a slap to the face not a hug. and i could care less about ur respect or anyone elses im just sick and tired of spending my tax dollars to ensure someone can live in waterfront property no matter how many times it floods and listen to them cry about drainage and floodgates and cost to raise homes and losss of power and cost of insurance blah blah its very simple MOVE. when the emotions are finally put aside and rational thought returns i am very confident the majority will be repeating my thoughts.

and for the 100th time i feel terrible for these people that lost their homes thats why i say enough is enough sometimes u need someone from the outside looking in to be the voice of reason someone with no emotional attachment god bless these people i want them to be assited as much as possible but part of that deal has to be be MOVE OUT do not raise ur house and think u solved anything half will leave on their own ur house will look awkward raised when all arent and ur property values in a few years will be next to zero just good economics to be the first one out

houses don't look awkward elevated most of the houses in my neighborhood when they were built were built to a higher elevation and they look fine. property values will not decline. however public overreaction will. how and where someone lives is.entirely up to them. who and when they get support from is also up to those who give the support. I bought my house knowing I was exactly 4 houses from the bay. I made a conscious decision knowing that something could happen and I may be on my own. and that was my choice. I do not agree with people who buy houses in flood zones and then complain as if they didn't think it was ever going to happen to them.

I for 1 would not sell my house because this is
exactly specifically where I want to live. the
same goes for those in my neighborhood
because I've spoken to them and we don't want
to leave. that's why they sell insurance. honestly
I think most of these houses should have been
elevated
years ago. I was surprised I was even allowed to
buy my house below BFE.

tom thats fine this is a free country but then NO FEMA assistance period because that is taxpayer/my $$ private insurnace is another issue although ur claims possibly affect everyone else i assume at the least the insurance companies charge u higher premiums to offset. I would not chose to live 4 houses from the bay due to pending floods constantly but i support ur decision as long as u dont ask me or the taxpayers for a dime when u flood again and chances r u will

tom just realize that the infrastruture for u to live there does cost all taxpayers just as we all pay for beaches in LBI to be replenished every year even though a lot of them are private beaches thats another island with out constant beach work would have been reclaimed my family has a house there and i love it but i also thinks its a waste of money to put off the ineveitable\
