Why do people want to live on shorelines...
Why do people want to live in earthquake zones?
Why do people want to live in tornado alleys?
Why do people want to live in hurricane territory?
Why do people want to live where it's freezing most of the year?
Why do people want to live where it's hot most of the year?
Why do people want to live in cities where it is so crowded and noisy?
Why do people want to live in rural areas where nothing ever happens?
Why do people want to live where water has to be pumped in from another state?
And so on... to the point there really is no place totally safe or desirable to live.

In defense of people on shorelines, at least with storms and floods you usually have enough warning to board up the house and get away. If your house is near a flood area and not elevated, or in a storm area and not hurricane proof, that's of your own doing.

For the most part people live where they do because it feels like home, I've spent all but 6 years of my life in Florida, you just get used to it.
