If they want their house to be built out of stray, sticks, stones, wood, brick or concrete, they should have every right to decide. Why people live in these places and re-build after each storm, I do not know. Why insurance companies even insure homes in these areas, I will never know. The government has no right to do what you want them to do, and we should never give the government the power to do it.

The state government has every right to set the Building Code to ensure people's safety in dangerous area, either ban for the building usage or come up with a restrict building code.
One of the responsibility to have a government is to protect people's life from danger.

Besides the coastal area, we have the entire south which is in a tornado watch zone every season. Where do you want those people to move to?
