Dangerous Living

To the Editor:

The growing tendency of Ameri- cans to take up residence in fragile landscapes – whether forests, moun- tains, deserts, wetlands or barrier islands – is, or should be, a source of national concern. Their expecta- tion, shared apparently by certain elected politicians, that the rest of us taxpayers should bail them out when disaster strikes or even threatens is, or should be, a national disgrace.
