Yet here they are spending billions to hold back the sea.
Why is that?.
I'll wager you sell real estate.

..and I'll wager you can't read a NOAA sea level graph

that's 40 years...it's going to rise a little more than 3 inches

3 inches for Miami-Dade is HUGE.
You don't understand climatology.
And you definitely do not understand proper construction management, as an estimator; I built much of the Brickell in Miami. The sheer weight is creating the same issue New Orleans has dealt with for decades, Miami is also sinking.
How's the real estate business?

Sea level has been consistently rising at about 1 inch a decade for the past 100 years.....

..3 inches huge is subjective....NOAA says it's about 9/10th of a foot in 100 years

and NASA agrees...about 1 inch a decade > https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...servations.jpg

It's like typing to a brick wall rick. He just don't get it. The rise will be crazy past 70 years as parts of the planet will see 12ft+ in rise. But we are ok in our lifetime since most of us will be dead fred within 30 years.

I've been preaching for years in this section, but hey; everyone wants to live near water!.
Nobody ever seems to factor in heat, as in it causes water to expand regardless of polar ice melt.

It's called Steric Height...it's the measurement of how the ocean heat content effects the surface height

It's already measured in on both the tide gauges (NOAA) and satellite measurements (NASA)...direct measurements

Jesus beat you to the punch on this by 2000 years bro... "...shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."

I used to think people were dumb for living in Florida. I've since updated my opinion: 90% of Florida's land area is a fine place to build on, but the party animal old people apparently can't figure out how to have fun in a forest, they have to play on the sandbar... It's like someone took a map of the worst places to build in Florida and decided THAT'S where the condos need to go!

I think double digit insurance rate hikes, like the ones this year, are going to be a party crasher more than people realize. The banks will lend as long as the insurance companies back the mortgage, so the insurance companies are going to be the first ones to cry "Uncle!" Too bad people couldn't be bothered with a 30 minute drive to the beach instead of a walk...

Once we get another super CAT5 with gust over 230mph it will over rover for many of the Ins comps.

This thread is irrelevant because people are arguing about sea level in the future when they aren't even going to be alive and how that is somehow relative to where they choose to live today. How many ocean view sunrises are you going to enjoy before the lobby of your building gets filled by waves?

I have an uncle that lives on an ocean to intracoastal parcel, best of both worlds/views on both sides! Sure its a barrier island, the elevation is not great in the event of a storm. He has lived there 25 years this year. That is a lot of time to enjoy what you have today not fear what the future could bring. Oh in that 25 years, the property is worth about 4X what he paid for it!

He has stayed for a couple of hurricanes, but normally just books a last minute flight and leaves for a week letting the staff care for the property.
