Who said anything about one house? My point is if you're buying a house, you have a set budget. If all the houses are in the same area then chances are you'll have the same problem, regardless of which one you choose... If you can only afford to buy a house in that area then you're stuck, you either buy one of the houses that's in a flood plain (and that's probably why it's cheap) or you don't buy at all. Desperation does not mean you are lacking common sense.
If your house flooded what would you do BP? Demand the HA move you somewhere else? I don't see you getting very far with that...
I'm sure that not all of the areas that are flooded ALWAYS flood either...
And what's wrong with expecting YOUR tax money to be spent keeping flood defenses up to date???
