I think there are exceptions: if you choose to live in those fire prone areas you know you're going to be hit one day, same for some areas around the golf coast. I don't think others should pick up the bill for some one else taking a calculated risk. But on the other hand maybe you're right and we should all share the risk for the good of the nation.
Tokyo is not a good example: hit by earthquakes and typhoons, NY would be better, are they hit by anything else than snow blizzards?
