Kind of a spin off of the wildfires thread. Here after cyclone Gabriel in 2023 they were talking about managed withdrawal.
Basically some small towns and areas in cities are going to struggle getting insurance. No insurance no mortgage. In sone areas central government doesn't really want yo pay for roads through terrain subject to land slips.
After the Christchurch Earthquakes the red zoned areas of the city essentially condemning all the buildings an forbidding rebuilds. Liquefaction.
I know here the popular opinion on insurance companies withdrawing from places in California and Florida is probably boo hiss. However I personally think they have recognized people shouldn't be living in certain locations.
Most of NZ is one big fault line. Local government often doesn't regulate how many people can live in certain locations except indirectly via resource consent. Some places here have put hard limits die to infrastructure limitations.
So how woukd people feel about national of local government putting hard or soft limits on where peopke can live or indirect ban by insurance companies. No insurance no construction unless you pay all costs yourself.
In USA plenty of room might revitalize the rust belt. How responsible are governments in making areas habitable if things change?
