That's fine, just next time, don't use my tax dollars to rebuild your city.

No Problem..... Just make sure you don't use any of the food/clothes/steel/paper/oil/gas that comes through my port.

Oh, and if I catch you sippin a hurricane.....

This comeback doesn't work at all.

Sure it does.
The arguement was that tax dollars shouldn't be used to finance the rebuilding of a city that is in a dangerous area.

But everyone wants the goods that are brought in through a port city. You need workers to live near the port. Thus, there is a trade-off between the risk of catastrophe and the benefit of commerce.

When you buy those goods that come throught the port, you have paid for that happening. When you get my money to rebuild your city, you haven't paid for it.
