Those “solutions” don’t really make sense. She completely glossed over the fact that raising the roads would in fact increase flooding for residences. What’s the end goal here? Raise up a few areas that will still be surrounded by seawater and cause damage to underground infrastructure? This is crazy.
You all can enjoy "letter of nonrenewal" from home insurance, and doubling and tripling cost of living as the state combats the inevitable natural process and it works like state taxes. We are smart so we got out of FL. The Florida population influx and the real estate party will go on for a little while longer before the problem becomes apparent. Then expect the exodus and collapse in values in 20~30 years or so. The odds of that happening is realistic enough that we figured home ownership in FL is a stupid idea. Remember 2 things; 1. FL costal cities are actually SINKING in addition to sea level rise. 2. It doesn't take submersion to make your life hell. It only needs to mess with your water table to make life hell, which is only some inches away. That said I do love Florida. I have fond memories. My babies were born in FL and I made sandboxes in the back yard in FL. But if anyone has level head and two brain cells to rub together, hanging on to FL real estate for future generations in the family is a really stooooooooopid idea. We will cherish FL memories in the family album, maybe visit as tourist sometimes, but to own a property in 2024? hell no. It will be apparent in 20~30 years. Cash out while the party goes on while many stick their heads in beautiful FL sands and say la-la-la-la-la. I will not burden my children as they start out in life.
Civil engineering solutions exist, but they are expensive. They will only be used to save the highest-value land, everything else will have to be abandoned as sea levels rise.
Geez, can you find someone, anyone who can actually speak english? BTW, I've lived in Central FL since 1985 (just a little north) and have seen no change to water levels and have not seen any flooding at all.
Hey people! More people keep moving to places that Florida has always had flooding and calling it new flooding problems! The only thing new is the people.

I wish more people would think like Solutionaries instead of having a defeatist mentality.

Paying more taxes will make it all go away.
Florida will be a future Venice.
Venice was built on a swamp and was flooding from day one.
People move by a lake and then they expect it not to flood oddly enough
The National Water Network is working on a plan to combat rising sea levels and eventually they will be able to lower the sea level.

another reason to focus more on our country rather than others.
They're not.
It’s already to late. Better off buying entire neighborhoods out and returning them to wetlands.
~ visit the Keys asap
~ don't start a property insurance company in Florida
~ vote for people who listen to science
Trust the science!

Its mother nature, you can't stop mother nature no matter how you place the blame on cars or buildings.

Better move everyone out of Miami and put them in Georgia. What a joke. This is not even real.
