Florida is becoming uninhabitable.

- Hurricane Helene came through and hit Florida, causing massive amounts of destruction in Tampa and St. Petersburg. The biggest issue was massive flooding, which resulted in many homes being evacuated and unoccupiable due to water damage.
This will likely cause Florida's housing market to worsen in 2024 and 2025, as demand declines due to the Hurricane and inventory on the market increases.

Pretty shocking being on the ground here and seeing it with my own eyes.
I spoke to probably 10 different homeowners today who had issues. Many said "I've lived here 30 years, and this is the first time my house flooded".
Lots of pain and angst right now among many homeowners in Florida. Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery.
Feeling pain for al and very grateful for God's mercy here in wpb 8plus from ocean and 1/2 mile from turnpike no flooding in 47yrs 😮 retention pond 3 houses away and of course high elevation
Shore Acres is prone to flooding, no one wants to live there. In the thirty years that I have lived in Clearwater, my house has never flooded.
Well you paid attention because youre smart n also not a bird box blind climate denier... Ive literally told most new people i spoke to in SFL that im calling myself Noah for the last 4 years cuz im getting ready for the real flood.. im at the highest elevation in florida now... the land is actually also thecheapest... because society only listens to NPCs n fellow cultmembers now...
I had a convo with a rich DC/VA type person who got me a job that investing in flordain 2021 wasnt a good idea..that the value offlorida had already left n only posers were on the beaches now.. no locals... she took offense to this n tried to make me feel stoopid..she waslistening to her wall street friends posing as south floridians instead ofme who actually played small parts since 91 in making sfl what it is...everyone in schools knew me..n i knew almost everyone.. now no one knows anyone.. its justa buncha wallstreet posers... check out my minidoc Why South Florida Is Worthless Now
The mold will be a problem even after they think they've fixed it. I could never rent or own a home that has had any type of water damage because I can tell. It makes me sick. So, dreams of moving to Florida are slowly diminishing.
I’m 60 years old, never lived anywhere but Florida…Is it a crisis when people with no common sense build houses in a flood zone that they can’t afford to lose?…Always remember this about hurricanes…the wind may scare you, but the water will kill you.
Native Floridian here…I agree with you 100%. People need to take responsibility for their own stupid decisions.
@@standinginthegap7118 "People need to take responsibility for their own stupid decisions." Yes, moving to Florida in the first place.
Hopefully, this will encourage all the newcomers to LEAVE!
Florida is a flood zone itself, it's on the coast and there are no mountains to run up.
@@7spadefish7 im 61 years old, i have lived in Florida. Its usually companies who build houses instead of people.
Imagine if the mangroves had not been destroyed by developers.
I was wondering about this. Whether there were mangroves and whether they were destroyed. Mangroves do a tone for us in the Caribbean.
I totally agree.
Very good point
You would still have dirt roads.
Facts
Or maybe....people need to stop building/living in the lowlands...no matter how cute it is.
if the flood insurance is high enough, land value would be a lot lower and everything would be OK. Except for people who bid up the price of floodland way to high.
Esp with wood and drywall.
Theses are old house any new construction has to be elevated in flood zones. I am a resident of the county this video is shot in. Most of the time it's pretty quiet here like he said, this area does flood even from a day of rain though.
Floridians aren't the smartest people out there. I lived in Florida for a while, and the people I met there over the years I met there were generally dumb.
I live in Florida and pretty much anywhere can flood with enough rain
Beware of buying a used car in Florida after then storms.
I don’t buy any used cars now because of this. Even though a car is registered in a place doesn’t mean it wasn’t taken on vacation somewhere else where it was flooded or abused…I don’t trust anyone anymore to tell the truth, really sad times.
those damaged cars will end up in the Western US.
@@scooter7791 Carfax and similar services will tell you where the car was registered previously.
Great point!
Buy from a dealership and sue if they sell you a bad one fraudulently. @@scooter7791
This neighborhood was built on a wetland, it always floods. It should have never been built on.
P
Exactly
Mother Nature is taking her land back from greedy developers. I hope people learn
Love the wood fence on the house that got flooded at 4 ft. The wood fence with the water mineral deposit staining tells a different story. Thanks non local for warning people to not buy in a place you don’t live or own a house in. 😂
Decades and decades people saying same thing, always the same idiots who can't afford to come down here and enjoy paradise until they r retired and ready to die.....
Well, let me tell you. I have been here for 25 years, making it rain, living a dream daily, sports cars, luxury places, hotels, most beautiful people in the planet. Of course nothing it's free, so every now and then, we get some wind. I have not see damage in 25 years around here though. Florida IS HUGE as women asses..s.s.s.s.s
It's all about being smart with your money and time. And I understand most people aren't, so keep workimg on the snow and save up, maybe 1 day I will see you in one of my rentals hahhahahahhhahahaa
Should NEVER been allowed to build in the FLOOD areas. NEVER
The whole state is a flood zone. It's flat and at sea level.
But true at all. Only certain areas are. Stop making up facts.
Completely ignorant comment. I live in Orlando which sits 80 feet above sea level and the highest point in Florida is 345 feet above sea level.
shortsighted take.
Those who choose to build in the low areas should not be allowed insurance, or should pay 50 times the rate of those who buy on high ground.
People choose to live in the risky areas near the coast. Floridians inland should not have to pay higher taxes to cover the coast peoples higher insurance costs.
Should people have to pay more if they live south of a damn??? What about all the devastation in Tennessee and the Carolinas??
People in Asheville, NC got washed out too and that has elevation.
@@actionjax6068 same thing insurance wise I sit on the highest point in Pinellas county with an 800 sq foot house my insurance just went up to $4,000, for me that's a whole month of pay. We sound not have to pay for the wealthy.
100% accurate. People who want to live on the water should have the insurance hikes. People in Ocala are not making flood insurance claims…or any housing damage claims for that matter.
Nor should people in other states...
After Katrina I had to move for work to New Orleans from Austin, Texas. I made the decision that I would never grow roots there and decided to get a storage unit and put all my stuff in there, except for the absolute necessities. I ended up living in New Orleans for 12 years and left my stuff in storage all that time. I learned two things: material things don't matter much, and it should be up to you to learn to take risks and find solutions to those risks. I am sick and tired of hearing people say that the government should bail them out.
Bingo! People are ignorant to the fact that it's gov't that is the actual root cause of almost every problem they run to it to solve on their behalf.
The insurances should bail them out,
if they had any. on the other hand government bails out failed businesses/failed companies & corporations almost all the time!! they can declare bankruptcy and owe almost nothing to the loan providers etc, then the government covers that from the taxes and tariffs it gets.
Born in Florida and lived here all my life, house is paid for, concrete block with galvalume steel roof, slab of house sits @ 43 feet above sea level. This housing market needs to crash. I am sick of paying for other people's stupid decisions. Use some common sense people, this state is a giant sand bar with numerous swamps. Where to build a home and live is not rocket science.
Well said‼️
And HOW to build a house. You can build hardened concrete edifices or on stilts or with other methods. But they're going to be more expensive than the generic bungalow, or maybe they're not as "cute" looking to the wives. But when people build a stickbuilt POS by the water in a hurricane zone they should be laughed at when they get ruined. Maybe not laughed at but they should not get bailed out, and they should be scolded for building such nonsense in Florida.
They need to tax Zone A higher to pay for first responder rescues and road clearing.
@@benjaminolsen2381 You also see it with the floors in those places. Lots of tile and cement with rugs. They fully expect it to flood, then it's just a hose it down, dry it out, and resume. Maybe some damaged furniture that you couldn't move upstairs in time. Where my son lived, in Houston, you would routinely see the bottom shelf in the grocery or auto parts store blank, and tile/waterproofing up to the windows. 2-4 inches of water is common when it rains hard. So.. move the chairs and trash cans, then sweep and mop up. I've seen businesses back in operation in under an hour because they are prepared.
But, yes, stick and drywall cookie cutter tract homes... not a chance.
If you look at a map of Florida through geologic time it seems to be underwater as much as above water. It looks like it may be going under again. It literally is just a big sandbar. And just like in a river, sandbars come and sandbars go.
St Pete native. Don't move here. Totally agree w the title of uninhabitable.
Yet people stay there. He keeps on making videos of Florida. Perhaps he can try another State and take his advice.
Lmao then move. This place is perfectly habitable if we use our brains. People have lived here for thousands of years. They had mounds all over the coastal areas for a reason. They knew storms would come and they prepared. When there wasn't any flooding (99% of the time) they were enjoying the natural warmth and beauty that is Florida.
Yeah been a Floridian since 1977, it is worse than ever, all things considered. It has become unlivable and now uninhabitable. This is every year now, possibly 2 every year now. The power of these things is like an atomic bomb going off every year, and I find myself hoping it will just destroy everything up the road and not hit me. It's like dread when they announce the start of Hurrican season, and relief when December rolls around.
Says that to keep idiots away from our paradise.
Just like Maui, the elites are clear cutting it with weather modification so they can inhabit it.
Florida has over developed and over populated their coast lines on both sides of the state. Even with all the damage we have all ready seen in past and present years we haven't seen anything as we will see when a big storm hits the lower east coast of Florida and it's not "if" it's "when". It will create destruction and death beyond belief. If Miami or Palm Beach takes a hit like the Bahamas took with Dorian a few years ago it's going to be a sad sad day. Even the people in north Florida won't be able to get out. There will be no fuel or food, the roads will be paralyzed and traffic will be stopped. There is just to many people living in Florida.
Dorian was a Cat 5 180 mph no place on earth can withstand a direct hit of a monster like Dorian
Correct.
And they keep coming. All I see is constant new construction 😢
I'm a South East Florida native. I've been through Andrew, Katrina, Wilma, and many more smaller storms. South Florida is WAY overdue for another Andrew. I saw the writing on the wall and left my home state for good ten years ago. It absolutely was the BEST decision of my life. I'm NEVER moving back!
Hurricane Andrew, about 30 years ago, was the biggy. Let's see mother nature top that one.
I think we're getting close to a complete collapse of Florida's real estate market.
The insurance companies will pull out.
@@zebagebathey already are. There’s very few insurance companies left.
@@zebagebathey already have bro…..
The RE prices may go back to pre-pandemic level. It won't collapse.
Hshahahahahha yeah ok
People should have never been allowed to build there, it's like building in a river.
Wait. I heard that we don't need no stinking regulations.
Or building in the shadow of Lake Pontchartrain.
they dont build houses in florida the build future storm debris!
@@johnwoodland7378 dont worry, "the market" will fix it.
Or perhaps they should just be denied home owners insurance.
I lived in Fort Myers, Florida when Hurricane Ian hit on September 28, 2022. It was absolutely devastating. I have since moved to Cape Coral, closer to my mom. I would never have moved to Florida if it weren’t for her. I help people buy and sell homes and it is a struggle to get sellers to understand their homes are not worth what they think they are. There is a ton of inventory of resale homes for sale and new homes for sale. With high homeowners insurance premiums, flood insurance costs, increased property taxes, high interest rates, high rents, low wages, it’s no wonder many in the area can’t afford to buy. Many homes are sitting on the market for long periods of time. It is rough.
THANK THE DEVIL WORSHIPERS WHO PUT POVERTY CURSES ON THE STATE TO MAKE IT A PLACE OF POVERTY
@@ruth__mercedes it's virtually impossible to find a nice home in Orlando. They are snapped up by *somebody* as soon as they go on the market.
The property tax appraisers are more than happy to take advantage of the greatly over-valued market. They are making the situation exponentially worse. The property tax has become totally decoupled from actual values and reality.
Rent and home prices will come down. They cannot stay up here this high. They will come down.
@@keithtauber4153lol how do you know what the hedge fund/ institutional investors are going to do?
Shore Acers always floods. I've lived in pinellas for 76 years. People that build homes in areas that have flooded in the past should not be surprised when it floods.
Thank you! No one should be allowed to rebuild there unless they're on STILTS!!
@@Reader-qn6lglots of older folks can’t do stilts, won’t happen.
I grew up in central Illinois right along the Illinois river. For whatever reason, there were entire parts of the town built literally on the shoreline. Homes. Businesses. It didn't flood every year, but it flooded regularly enough that if you lived on the shore, nobody would insure the property. Somehow, for some reason unbeknownst to me, people acted like they never saw it coming when their houses flooded. I remember being no older than 7 or 8 and thinking "but you live on the river, and this has happened before..."
Several decades and far too much life experience later, I've come to the conclusion that 90% of human beings are just stupid. There is no other explanation.
EXACTLY! It's not as if this is some new issue. This has been known forever and people continue to live there. There are other places to live where that doesn't happen like it does in Shore Acres.
@@AngryReptileKeeper I have come to that realization too recently, it blows my mind.
In 2019, Florida was affordable. In just a couple years, homes doubled or more. Mainly because of investors, house flippers and all the people pouring into the state, convinced that Florida was a bastion of freedom. This wasn’t inflation, it was supply and demand. A feeding frenzy. The investors and the disenchanted are leaving. If you bought after 2020/2021 you paid way too much. That $650,000 house was probably worth under 300,000 a few years earlier. Any body from the area knows Shore Acres has a bad flooding problem, even without a hurricane. If the prices go back to where they should be, it’s gonna get ugly.
In 2010 it was likely worth $150K
Please stop blaming people for moving, and that’s the reason for high prices. That’s the excuse that the politicians and wealthy elite want you to believe. High prices are because of Greed and Evil by those in power. Citizens moving to other cities is a natural effect of humans on earth. The phrase ‘Supply and Demand’ is just a cover up for business owners, cities, and states to price gouge the poor. You people have to stop using the rich man’s rhetoric and start thinking like a logical human.
Bought in 2015,moved here 2017,in seven yrs,the changes have been astronomical, everything has doubled or tripled,I live in Lakeworth, little south of westpalm, the traffic combined with construction, the main road I live off has been closed for construction for two yrs,it was serposed to open,it failed every inspection known to mankind,it's never going to open,tens of thousands of cars pouring g through our neighborhood, the governments in Florida are overwhelmed, not a clue,this is one retirery, counting my losses, and moving on,and I got a little money, but what's the sense of throwing it away.
If prices go back I'll be able to buy a place to live.
It sold in 2021 for 250k.
I've lived in Florida for the past 60 years and have never had any flooding, hurricane damage, or had to even file a single insurance clam. This past year I had my roof replaced since the old one was over 30 years old and getting really tired. It cost just under $9000 for a complete replacement. And then my homeowners insurance told me I needed a new home inspection, so we did it and the house passed with flying colors. But my homeowners insurance went from like 2000 dollars a year to over 12,000 dollars a year. That means that I would need to be paying the price for a new roof every 9 months. Since the roof decking is made of one inch thick red cedar and the supports are actual 2 inch by 4 inch thick joists and rafters, not prefab 1 and half inch by 3 inch prefab trusses and 12mm thick OSB sheathing, The adjuster told me that just the cost of replacing the framework and decking material would cost over $50,000 just for the materials. So we opted to forgo any homeowners insurance of any type, and just stash the $12,000 a year cost so we could pay for any damages should they ever arise.
My property has a USGS elevation marker at the rear corner of the property line which states my property is 81 feet above sea level, and we are located two blocks away from an ancient sinkhole lake that provides a natural 40 foot drop to lake level. We are also located 20 miles inland of the Atlantic ocean South of Daytona Beach and north of Orlando. Our subdivision was created in the 1900's and no one has ever had and damage other than from our trees. In the past 20 years, there are 9 new subdivisions all filled with what the locals call "cardboard castles"and every hurricane, regardless of a direct hit or not, ALL the new subdivisions are decimated by flooding or excessive roof damage. at a minimum.
You are very fortunate to be at that elevation. It is a shame that people such as you end up paying for other people's stupidity and greed. The insurance companies are redlining Florida when they should be more lenient for people on higher elevations.
how have you lived in Florida 60 years and are still required to have home insurance? Your house isn't payed off yet in all that time?
@@AH-cl7fh read again. Maybe you missed it.
@@MP99. What's the TLDR?
@@AH-cl7fh not sure what TLDR is but this is what I was referring to.
"So we opted to forgo any homeowners insurance of any type, and just stash the $12,000 a year cost so we could pay for any damages should they ever arise."
and this is why that 650k house in St. Pete is actually worth 150k to 250k at most
😮
Yep. Absolutely.
And always was.
Absolutely
Very yes.
Wow, that house bought for $660K - looks so average yet over half a million! Even after hurricanes, still over half a million! No wonder no one can afford a house.
The government doesn't have to figure something out, people are just going to have to stop buying homes in flood zones or, make their houses on stilts, or conversely, have to pay sky-high insurance rates. Companies don't want to insure places that have a lot of claims - who would? It doesn't make economic sense.
You think that's high that house would sell for 1.5 in the Keys.

I retired last year, considered moving to Florida and was looking at newer builds (2015+) because I figured those would be built with consideration for hurricanes/floods... but NO. A lot of new development was happening on some of the most prone to flooding locations.
Developers don't care, they just buy cheapest land, throw up homes and stick hapless buyers with the problems.
All these homes are built on swamp land.
I moved to Highlands County- love it- country and yet have everyO need - the name tells you everything- lake front, gated community- beautiful view smacked in the middle . Left the coast 20 years ago, before it got flooded!
@@alicia-fo3fx It's good if you can make it work, but it looks like in FL vast majority of population centers are near the coast, so that's where shopping, medical care, entertainment, etc are. I'm sure there are wonderful places away from the coast, but I'd like some of the convenience too.

This mess isn’t limited to Florida. Insurers will stop writing coverage policies in Florida for sure, but they will also double everyone else’s rates across the country to pay for the mess down there, so if you don’t think the world is interrelated, then you don’t know how it works. Everyone will be affected and pay for this mess, including the government, which is also your money.

Stop building houses in the Gulf. You were walking in the Gulf and not near the Gulf. Those houses are not built near the gulf they're literally built in the Gulf. You can disagree with me all you want but the water line clearly proves I am correct.
The area of Shore Acres began recommending that homes be built 5.5 feet above ground level after the mid-20th century, but many builders did not comply

It also did a lot of damage in other states including floods due to extremely heavy rainfall: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky..and also wind damage.
So are these states ‘becoming uninhabitable’ too?
Check the county evacuation zones before buying. If you're in Zone A, just say no. That means you're at risk of storm surge.

shore acres is well known as a flood zone, even just heavy rainstorms flood this neighborhood, people who buy in this area are
warned prior to purchase, but they still by there, so this is what you get. Over the years prices have not dropped in Shore Acres,
people still willing to put up with flooding on a regular basis. At one point I owned 51 houses in Florida, I NEVER purchased a house in a flood zone, and in the 41 years I owned investment properties, I was never flooded. A deal isn't a deal if you have to put up with this over and over. I didn't want the problems, and didn't want my tenants to have the problems.
You are right. I had co-worker purchase 4 houses for rental and in a flood zone. You can guess what happen. By the way, she never visited the state or live in the area.
I never realized that people are that stupid to purchase houses on swamp land, and flood planes, and expect the local government permits departments and fema to protect them.
Prices don't mean a thing when the ocean itself is taking the houses.
Uff, it sounds liked, Hialeah, South Florida, where a 🐸 takes a pee and it floods.
The people there don't helped; because, they've poured cement on every inch of grass, everywhere and there's hardly any green areas to helped to absorbed the waters 🙄
I used to asked people, why?
They would tell me, that they're not, into having to mowed the lawn 😅
Truthfully 😊
When I googled Shore Acres and saw it on maps, well, no surprise at all. It's just not wise to buy a house on the water that's at the water level where the gulf meets Tampa Bay. That's also why I'm always seeing videos of Bayshore Blvd and anything around that bay with street flooding.
Come to Western NC. I'll show you uninhabitable.

Connecticut got flooded too.
If you aren’t at 20 ft above sea level don’t build or live there. Anything less should only have stilt houses on it
All of Florida is at sea level.
Not true. I’m in Cape Coral which was hit too and I’m at 22 ft above sea level. No surge here.
After the great hurricane in September 1900, Galveston Texas mandated living quarters at least 20 feet above sea level. The "high raised homes" built after that survived numerous hurricanes. Today, slab homes are the norm. Hurricane Ike a few years ago flooded most of the city with more than 5 feet of storm surge and flooding. The old homes' living areas were well above that level. I suggest all the coastal areas mandate raised living levels for residential and commercial property.
Some of those stilt houses didn't fare too well in NC with Helene.
Elevation won't save homes from wind damage, or tree's falling on them. Also, it is super humid in Florida. If the power goes out, so does your air conditioning. The longer that lasts, the more mold problems you experience. Mold is NOT fun to deal with.
It's not the water line. It's the sewage line.
Duh! Worse

Those are literal poop stains on the walls.

Doesn’t matter where you live. Up north can deal with harsh winters and blizzards, snowstorms, Midwest deals with harsh winters and tornadoes. The mountain region deals with drought and extreme heat, west coast can deal with wildfires, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
No reality check please. People who would like to live in Florida but can’t afford it, need to try and justify why they don’t want to live there.
Ya know what? I live in Chicago and have been thinking about moving to Florida. Probably in the Orlando area. I see the attraction of Florida. I love Disney Springs and would probably go there every weekend. But after seeing all this destruction, I'll stay right here. I can take the cold, the snow. It's not going to kill me. I'll visit Florida on vacation but I'm not moving there after I see this. God Bless all that are there now. Hope you come out of all of this ok.
I live in Michigan my whole life (67 yo)and it's way safer than the coastal areas. Sure everyplace has problems, but I have never had to endure a hurricane, flood, tornado, earthquake, etc .

"The government's gotta step in and do something"
We def need to gov to do less here. They are the reason people are ABLE to buy an 3million dollar house on the gulf, pay 10% what the cost for insurance SHOULD BE, then the other/poorer residents of Florida that can’t afford to live near the coast (or even in the state they were born) because we subsidize their insurance. Citizens was for homes built in the 1930’s that couldn’t get insurance at a fair rate. Not to subsidize the ultra rich living on the coast.
That's how it works, especially in states like Florida. They're "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" while receiving funds from FEMA rehabbing their houses to better than they were before, but as soon as they're done will go back to voting for people looking to cut those programs/services.

Why do people in Florida build the lowest form of infrastructure humanly possibly. I know everyone wants single family homes, but clearly Florida is not a good place to build them
I don’t know how you conclude single family homes are the problem and not where or how they are built. Have you not watched any videos on the problems high rise condos on the beach are having?
The government is NOT the answer. Taxpayers in other areas shouldn't be subsidizing people who decide to live in a flood area. Insurance rates for these homes should be much higher to account for the risk of insuring a property in these locations or these owners should be forced to self-insure. I'm sure Citizens Insurance charging below "market rates" doesn't help and is one of multiple reasons private insurance companies are leaving the state.
Do you say the same for people in New England who get bad snow storms almost every year (roofs collapse, electricity often goes down) ?

The entire country is paying to subsidize all those people living down there now and it's not taxation but the free market. I live in the middle of the desert and my insurance rates have gone up 30%. The people living down there said they hated government too until the storms came. Then they had their hand out for Federal aide as well as socialism/Citizens Insurance. They made fun of scientists and climate change meanwhile the changes are occurring around the globe. Changes only a brainwashed fool would deny. Now that they are in trouble they are leaning more left. Funny how that works?
Yes yes yes !!
If the government keeps bailing out homeowners who live in flood risk areas then those people, and others in the future, have no incentive to move to higher ground, which is the only sensible solution: Do not build and live in flood zone areas.
That's on real estate developers and urban development that build in areas not accounting on how natural disasters affect the area. If anything this is poor planning and design of homes not being built to be more resilient to their environment type.
I'd say it would be fine to build in certain areas.....just not normal bloody homes. They HAVE to be raised a certain height off the ground and need some solid walls protecting them from the main wind path usually traveled by these storms. Regular houses are just 'flooding to occur in 3-2-1-your fcked'.
Even better if made in ways that only the doors are likely to allow flooding IF water gets that high....thus ensuring just those areas need heavy sandbags to help guard against it would help as well. Simple things but are completely ignored likely due to higher initial cost.
Maybe it was the government who put them there in the frist place..
The solution is for the government to stop subsidizing home insurance which incentivizes people to live in high risk areas. Stop interfering with the market and let it correctly price the risk.
Yeah you proved not everyone is a moron. This was all caused by government incentivizing inhabiting places that will be damaged by storms.
*** I RELOCATED TO ANOTHER STATE FLORIDA HAS CHANGED! PLUS REAL ESTATE COMPANIES DONT WANT TO DEAL WITH FLOODS. THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE LEAVING***

Building things out of crap on a flood plain in a hurricane-prone climate never ends well. Well, those home owners knew what they've got themselves into and would dismiss any suggestion from friends not to buy there because of $$$.

@@robynrin7107 I remember flying to Tampa last year.

These houses are worth .25 cents on the dollar because you can only amortize these properties for a few years maybe up to five before the next hurricane destroys it and doubles the carrying costs of the home. These homes are the roulette wheel of real estate investment.
You are right. The risks are too great. They started building elevated homes there like shown for this reason. You would need to demo the old home and build a elevated one which would be more expensive.

Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.
I'm in Florida but my elevation is 78 feet above sea level. Going through a flooded house event one time was enough for me. My previous house was at 9 feet above and hurricane Ivan put 3 feet of water in my yard, 2 feet in the garage and 18 inches in the house. Eighteen inches of water means a complete remodel because your cabinets, appliances, heating and air, water heater, sheetrock, flooring, furniture all have to be replaced.

New Orleans is under sea-level, but people don't realize coastal Florida is just at sea-level, so it takes very little, even just an afternoon storm to cause flooding. Sellers in Shore Acres wanting over a half a mil for a std starter home are delusional. Keep that bubble a burstin' I say.

You can solve this whole problem by mandating through state law, and in some cases federal law that houses be made to withstand storms and flooding such as happened over the decades. And if that means it cost more money for the houses too bad. That’s the only way to fix this.
Any type of construction can have vulnerability. Certainly superior construction mitigates risk but so does building in areas that are less prone ro severe catastrophes. Florida is headed to a place of uninsurability.
