I live here. Miami is not building a lot of flood control infrastructure. Just a few diesel water pumps in tonier parts of town to keep the king tides at bay. The lifted truck/SUV is almost a requirement in the long term. After watching a row of cards flood out on our main street, Biscayne, you want something that drives high and dry.
- ch4s3 4y agoIt seems like there's a bunch of coastline restoration and mangrove planting happening as well. Has that not started in earnest?
- yardie 4y agoMiami Beach is making a valiant attempt. That city has been working on massive climate change projects for some time. We’ll see if it pays off. Miami is a basket case. The city commission held a vote to remove mangroves from the park because they were blocking the view. LOL. Just massive political incompetence.
