Serious question (apologies for any timing faux pas), why do people choose to live in an area that gets destroyed by nature semi-regularly?

What a colossally ignorant question...
Last week Hurricane Henri came up the east coast of the US, and potentially could have made land fall in a number of places..
It did make landfall in Rhode Island..
However the effects of this one cat 1 storm affected basically the whole northeast...
So people should not chose to live in the northeast?
Hurricane Grace made landfall in the Yucatan
Why would people live in the Yucatan? or eastern Mexico..
Mexico City was affected... hundreds of miles from the coast
Why would anyone live there??
Why would anyone live near the San Andreas fault? or the Yellowstone Basin?
