     The American dream has often been associated with living in the South or on the California coast. A warmer climate and often less expensive housing, has previously allowed many to live in a place of comfort and security. However, the recent destruction and disruption of critical services caused by Gulf-born hurricanes has many rethinking this plan. What are you thinking now?
