"So all this coastline should be dunes and park spaces?"
Yes. That makes sense to me.
What's the downside?
- vkou 4y agoIf you want to live in a deindustrialized society, there is no downside. If you like things like international shipping, gasoline, diesel, and having food on your table, there are a few downsides.
- ericd 4y agoWe can still build hardened ports and port cities. If you want a coastal vacation house, that’s going to be an (even more) expensive luxury.
- rootusrootus 4y agoHow many of the critical workers who maintain port facilities live in beachfront houses? Approximately none. We can quit subsidizing wealthy beachfront home owners and limit new housing to places that are more defensible. Returning all of the current privately owned beachfront to natural habitat would be absolutely glorious. We can make exceptions for public facilities serving the greater good, like ports.
