$1.3bn is 26,500 houses at $500k a pop. If we set them on fire wouldn't that:
A) Lift house prices due to the diminished stock
B) Increase rent due to higher accommodation demand
Thus increasing capital gains and rental yield for landlords.
So they don't need to set the cash on fire. They'll get it back from the insurance anyway.
