Absolutely. Even right now, low-elevation roads in coastal areas flood terribly when it rains. And if it's high tide, it can be hours before the water clears.

Absolutely. Even right now, low-elevation roads in coastal areas flood terribly when it rains. And if it's high tide, it can be hours before the water clears.
The future is going to look like the article's story about Key Largo first. Flooded streets and other infrastructure for periods of days instead of hours. And that's definitely enough to drive educated buyers away.
I would have loved to live in a different area than where I bought my house, but I couldn't argue with the advantages that come with being over 30' above sea level. Already I'm not required to purchase flood insurance, which is a large savings every year.
