Everyone Dreams of Living at the Beach...Right?
Living at the beachy may seem like a dream come true...until you try to insure your house! States where wind, hail, tornadoes and huracanes occur regularly have a huge increase in insurance for their home. The average US home pays $668 per year to insure their home. In Texas, the average is $1328! Also, Washington DC has large rates due the fact that it is a high-density area and lacks nearby construction materials. One should look at the tradeoff before planning to move: is it really worth it to live in an area ridden with natural disaster or a high-density area? Not only are the rates for insurance high, but the cost of your own time put into evacuating and rebuilding after every storm is skyhigh. Marietta is looking better and better to me!

Amanda, Marietta has also had its share of natural disasters recently...remember the floods of 2004/2005? If not, check these pics out.
