I don’t think we can say the system really works as much as it’s failing slower in other areas. We keep bumping into reminders that the post-WWII era was something of an anomaly rather than a steady state. Florida is a front runner because it’s both unusually highly exposed and ideologically captured but I think much of the country isn’t far behind - just basic things like roads and sewers aren’t sustainable in many areas without increased taxes, and a lot of people do not have much margin for that. An awful lot of infrastructure is around its design lifetime already and much of that will be getting hit with increased climate stress.
