As someone who lives in South Florida it's bad enough we have to deal with Rick Scott denying rising sea tides in his own back yard.
Now we're up against a POTUS who denies the disaster we will face in twenty years yet owns property in the afflicted area (North Miami Beach - Trump Towers). As I watch the city raise the sidewalks and roads by a foot I'm astounded. I've lived here for three years and since I got here every major roadway has been under construction - installing pumps to return flood water back to the bay. When I first arrived, you couldn't cross the street without steeping ankle deep into water and it's getting better. But pumps were only installed in key areas that affected the Mayor's and his friends' commercial properties.
I cannot buy property here because to do so would be a huge mistake considering what is now beach front will be underwater unless something is done about it.
