That was my immediate thought. Why would anyone permanently relocate to an area just a few feet above sea level in 2022?

- kcplate 4y agoIts a misnomer to believe that “Florida is only a few feet above sea level”. Immediate costal/beach areas of course are, but most of Florida is well above sea level. Most of the people moving to Florida are not wealthy, but middle class folk, and are not buying in the coastal areas. They buy far enough inland that sea level rise if it happens at all to a danger level will have zero affect on anything but future beach quality. Might make the distance to the beach a mile or two shorter. The rich who are buying coastal properties aren’t buying with 2100 in mind, they are buying with 2022 in mind.
