Barrier islands are supposed to move and change shape. That sand doesn’t disappear, it just moves someplace else. It has always been that way. Some beaches get smaller, some get larger.
Let me help, these homes are built on a sandbar. Sandbars move, that is their job. Your house does not move. These people do not pay 10 million taxes. What you are asking is the public (Federal and State) to provide WELFARE to these people that chose buy a private home through a private transaction. Since this is a private home on private property the home owners should leave public out of it. 10 to 30 million can fund a lot of schools, one time teacher bonuses, fixing state parks, etc.
Mother Nature is the elder, with a life span that outlives any buildings or structures built on barrier islands. The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, originally built and became operational in 1803, has been moved several times; I believe those were signs for others to heed.
No worries; the rest of us will pay for these losses with higher insurance premiums…&/or higher taxes to ‘nourish’ the sand for those select few property owners to come out & yell at the general public for being on ‘their’ beach.
@@00700556 Those folks are definitely well off enough that they don't need my sympathy . They made a poor choice and are paying for it. They knew when purchased in 2019 that the beach was going away.
The problem is the NPS won’t allow rip rap boulders to be put in place to dramatically slow the erosion. I think they would prefer that no structures were on the island at all. Since 1810 Hatteras Island has lost over 3,000 feet of beach.
Totally agree with buying people out. I live in Florida. The Army Crops of Engineers requires 100% homeowners signing off for Public Access in order for them to fund beach restoration projects. These projects will end eventually. Sea Walls should be another option.
Absolutely do NOT buy these with the people's tax dollars. If you choose to buy a sand castle, that the ocean will eventually wash away, the loss is 100% the responsibility of the wealthy schmuck that bought the sand castle.
Ugly sea walls to protect whom? Why don't you leave things alone! Remember laissez-faire economics? You were probably not even born when laissez-faire was shoved down our throat's. Now you want to conveniently apply a bit of socialism by having our government buy your mistakes as expected.
You exhale carbon and trees consume it. More trees are necessary, but current real estate laws don’t see it that way when determining the “highest and best use” of the land. Think about it. (yeah they don’t grow at the beach.) If you are against carbon you are against life.
Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes fill the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.

Exactly

For those who are interested:
This home was built in 1973 and was last sold in January 2019 for $339,000
Very interesting; thank you!
Don’t know why they bought it.
@@SWS1493 People who have plenty of money have their reasons. I mean p-l-e-n-t-y.

they got screwed out of 300k

it's only been moved once in 1999
Why are they allowed to be rebuild? This keeps happening.
Money laundering
You think they would learn. I love how they build a house on a beach and don’t understand why they have problems.
When California goes Yellowstone goes so we mine the fault lines at the salt n sea for lithium and subsidize electric cars for Econ.

Hard to feel sorry for folks who lose a secondary beachfront home.
@@paulmoss7940 Why? Because you don’t have one?

Particularly when it was built on an ever-moving sandbar.
maybe they should read the bible about building on sand

Make the whole island a state or national park. Then everyone can enjoy the barrier island.
So are you billing the vulnerable house owners these remourishment costs? No.
Building houses on a beach has never been a good idea.
Mother Nature has one agent. And that is all of us!❤️🙏☮️

Why buy these people out for worthless property and with what - for land that no longer exists. …sounds like another nice idea to cheat the taxpayers

Used to just be hunting shacks out there. Those were the good old days
The carbon footprint has been maxed out by man and money! Mother Nature has one agent! That is all of us!☮️❤️🙏

Carbon footprints have nothing to do with Rodanthe beach erosion.

Did you watch this video? The ocean is not rising here, the sand is simply washing away, just like it does at all beaches. This is a sandbar.
because the ocean is uncontrollable how ignorant can you get
