The federal government actually does have block grant programs to buy out homeowners, or will pay to raise their house, if the cost is cheaper than building a levee or similar flood protection.
- bostonsre 5y agoInteresting.. That kind of sounds like it would be impossibly expensive for the government as the sea level rises.
- beerandt 5y agoDepends- at some point it usually becomes cheaper to provide flood protection, if enough houses are close to one another. Plus those grants are kinda complex to navigate, and you can't do it as an individual. It has to be part of a local communities overall flood mitigation / risk-reduction plan.
