This probably comes out as distateful and ignorant but why do people live in disaster-prone areas?


its not distasteful or ignortant...

just a silly question.

the whole of Japan is a disaster prone area... 


Everyone lives in disaster prone areas.  I remember a lot of comments with a similar tone about my city after Katrina.  I started to agree with them, until I saw videos of tornadoes ripping through the mideast without only a few minutes of warning, or heard about 110 degree temperatures in Arizona.  Then there's all the talk of California falling into the ocean one day when they get their own 9.0 earthquake.

The world's a rough place in general lol.

OT:  Really bites for Japan.  It's crazy how it all happens at once.  You never know one the big one(s) will hit.
