My problem with the logic in this 'economic boom', is that although it MAY help the economy with job related issues for construction, it comes at what cost to PEOPLE??
Ya, people got insurance money... unforatunately, MOST people did not get fully compensated for the damage that they incurred. Most insurance policies have 'clauses' for 'Depreciation'.... meaning, that PEOPLE have to spend monies that they either a) can not afford or

were not prepared to spend.
Sure... construction people get a boom... unfortunately it is at the expense of largely elderly people, that were not prepared to pay the additional expense necessary to RESTORE their homes to a previous state....
