I don’t have any problems with this. If you want to live in an area that is prone to hurricanes and flooding, either bring your house up to current standards or don’t expect government handouts.
Your house is a 75 year old trailer. Don’t expect taxpayers to give you thousands of dollars to fix it.
On the other hand, the county is taxing an ancient mobile home on an assessed value of $237,000 not counting the land. That is ridiculous

Ugh, more arbitrary bureaucrats.
They never explained their condemnation and then insist that code requires an expensive appeal.
They are the ones who decided to follow that code – they can decide exceptions and the appeal process.
The best option would be for the locals to make a bigger stink about this to force the issue.

My hunch? The guy who owns the property wants to sell it for YUUUGE money to a developer (it’s right on the beach) and then scarper w/the $$$. The politicos in question are probably making a boodle in a kickback scheme, and together they’re using the back-to-back storms as justification to nuke the park into oblivion.
