Although primarily interested in the homes' hurricane-resistant properties, Tener said he was also drawn to their panoramic views.

But Linton believes only one of the approximately 3,000 Deltec homes built after the mid-1990s has ever suffered structural damage — during Hurricane Irma in 2017. Deltec says it also sells homes in areas not known for hurricanes, like this one on Lake Superior in Michigan.

Opinion | Kamala Harris’s Epic Fail in Puerto Rico
  + stars: | 2024-03-28 | by ( Yarimar Bonilla | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Kamala Harris arrived in San Juan, P.R., last Friday for her first official visit as vice president. The trip was meant, in part, to highlight the Biden administration’s dedication to aiding the island’s recovery. Ms. Harris’s roughly five-hour visit began in the community of San Isidro, in the municipality of Canóvanas. Many of the residents lack land titles, which made them ineligible for the Federal Emergency Management Agency programs Ms. Harris aimed to promote. The area was originally an informal settlement built on public wetlands by those displaced after Hurricane Hugo in 1989.
