Letter: Home, safe home

Hooray for John Blaine.

The only fault I can find is that his letter wasn’t made the letter of the day.

The bean counters generalize and don’t take this area’s unique population into consideration.

House hunters have screwy priorities, in my opinion. If I were looking for a home here I’d be interested in ones that stood up to the 100-year rains we had a few years ago and the storms from Charlie to Wilma, not if they have tile floors and granite counters.

Those things are cosmetic. You can upgrade floors and countertops for a lot less money than it costs to repair structural damage from a storm or water damage because it flooded.

Give me a house that has proven itself, staying high and dry and a safe shelter through the storms.
