In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, what government does only adds to the harm in terms of unwise subsidies.

As opposed to developing countries that are underinsured against natural disasters, America has the opposite problem:the federal government subsides the insurance premiums of vulnerable houses.

The National Flood Insurance Programme (NFIP)  has been underfunded because it fails to charge enough to cover its risk of losses. Underpricing encourages the building of new houses while discouraging removal and renovation of old ones  existing owners from renovating or moving out.

According to one report, the houses that repeatedly flood account for only 1% of NFIP properties but 25%-30% of its claims.
