New Reality

I agree.

People don't want their homes abolished, I get that.  But it is not without precedent.

There is a town called Bound Brook.  It is bound by brooks on all sides. I think they've had major flood relief 3x in 20 years. These are modest homes built in a flood plain. I'm sure the federal relief way exceeds the market value of the homes.  

I know a fellow in my neck of the woods that lives on the bend of a river, has for 25 years.  The amount of excess money he received from the flood insurance put one of his kids through college.  Its an inconvenience for the family every couple of years but worth it to him.  

I wonder at what point will people give up on rebuilding coastal communities. If the climatologists are right these efforts are futile.

Seriously, here's an elevation map of Florida:

They will give up when there is no money in it.  

I would have been ok if Seaside was let go.

The effects of climate change go way beyond property damage.

Hows about some Zika virus and some dangerous chemicals to try and control the carriers during your hurricane aftermath?

There used to be a Grateful Dead radio show back in the day called, you guessed it, "Bring Out Your Dead"! It might have been on a college radio station and I think they used the audio from MP for the beginning sequence.

Not quite the whole story according to Peter of Liftblog on 9/14/17:

"Powder and others spread headlines that Colorado resorts are adding more roller coasters than chairlifts this season.  However they missed Copper Mountain’s new high-speed quad and counted Vail Resorts’ four new detachables separately from Colorado Ski Country USA.  The state as a whole is actually adding its most new lifts since 2013 (six) and fewer mountain coasters (four.)"
