It took a year to sell the house because lots of people wanted out and no one wanted in. Now it's a hot spot again and the house I sold has appreciated substantially. Good luck to the people who live there, when the next hurricane hits, they may not be as lucky as how things turned out with Irma.

The Florida market is "hot" right now because their governor is anti-mask/anti-vax and very vocal about it. So, Florida is drawing in lots of people with a fragile mindset about politics and the pandemic.

I, too, have wondered how these fragile transplants to Florida are going to handle the next big hurricane? Florida was largely spared this year during Hurricane season.

Vegas is not immune to natural disasters. A few years ago there was a large earthquake in Ridgecrest, CA and it killed someone working on their car in Pahrump. I even noticed cracks in my pool deck and lifted one of the concrete slabs a half an inch. There are fault lines here and they can produce a large enough earthquake to cause some damage. If it did happen, how many people have any kind of earthquake insurance? Just saying anything is possible

I'll take my chances here over Florida or Illinois. I used to there too, my sister lives in the Chicago area. They have been hit with high wind damage a few times recently.

I don't know what would be worse, an earthquake (seismologists say that a 6.8 would be the max for Las Vegas) or a 100 year flood. 5 inches of rain dumped on Las Vegas in a short period of time, try to imagine that one!

I’ve never known the freedom loving crowd to be the fragile type.

I live adjacent to where Hurricane Michael hit. Big Trump zone and they’re still begging for government grants to fix things and help in dealing with the insurance companies. And so many people just left rather than trying to be part of the rebuilding process because not everyone can just pivot into a career as a construction worker when their old job blows away.

The rent is only going up. This popped up on my Youtube feed. Seemed a good thread to throw it into.
