Yes, DownsizeDC does have an initiative to repeal the Federal Flood Insurance.
No, it wasn't soon "before" Hurricane Katrina. The Federal Flood insurance was passed in the '70s, and has since then increased the likelihood of death by flooding. DownsizeDC put this on their website after Katrina, not before.
Before the Federal Flood insurance, contractors would rarely build on flood-prone land, because they knew that buyers would be unlikely to want it. However, since the passing of Federal Flood insurance, contractors no longer have that fear because people can get flood insurance directly from Uncle Sam. The government doesn't have nearly the same accountability that corporations have. So, people started buying these otherwise-unsafe houses.
This organization is the organization that sends out the Downsizer Dispatch, yes. Why it's appearing in your junk-mail, I know not. If you're using Yahoo, all you need to do is click the "not spam" button.

Almost all of the information on this article comes directly from DownsizeDCs website. The article doesn't seem neutral at all, especially when calling legislation that grows government "bad".

NPOV is the least of this article's problems. This is a vanity article of a non-notable organization (not one secondary sourse) created merely for publicity and should be deleted in its entirety. 70.131.144.130 (talk) 09:30, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
