Or put other businesses out of business by selling the metal grades/louvers
that permenantly fit over the windows or can be lowered over them (and patio
doors) in minutes whenever a storm approaches, as they do in northern australia.

Of course, if residents insist in building according to their former
location's look/feel, then they may not wish to have such "decorations" on
their homes, prefering the fake wooden shutters next to the windows, and
having to buy plywood and nail it everytime some storm is threthening their areas.
