Aside from all the misery this will cause, it'll be interesting to see what happens to property rights once you coastal parcel gets submerged.
Will you still own it?
Will you be able to build some sort of platform above sea level with a house on it given that the submerged land was once yours?
Will it eventually give rise to a "living on the sea" movement?
