That Sinking Feeling

Whenever I hear libertarians preaching about how government shouldn’t help people, I think of families like these.
Philadelphia has a lot of older homes that were built on filled-in creekbeds, and the builders are long gone. How can people cope with this on their own?
By way of contrast, I will point out that as a reporter, I also saw suburban homeowners in this situation. While it was still a legal mess to untangle, elected officials seemed to be a lot more effective at marshalling the resources to help them.
