Easy because they do that now. You could build the safest, most storm proof structure and the insurance is under no obligation to reduce your rate. So why spend extra money on a super structure that you'll never recoup and still pay the same insurance premiums to cover that structure? Matter of fact they would probably up your rate since the cost to repair or replace that super structure cost a lot more. But thats provided the insurance would even write you a policy. If everyone started to built brick-sheet houses they would assume there was a known reason and probably leave the area like they've done in a number of hurricane prone states.
