88. in some cases that may be true-
"tornado alley" is a HUGE expanse- but many people live there their entire lives and never even see one.

BUT- when you talk about things like building homes on barrier islands where hurricanes wipe them flat time and time again...or building wooden homes in areas naturally designed to burn over and over again- "bad luck" has NOTHING to do with it.

and yes, people could in most cases build an appropriate structure on the same budget- but it might not be as aesthetically pleasing or as expansive as they might like, so it's not a consideration. but again- luck has nothing to do with it- it's about making appropriate choices.
