Migration numbers don’t lie, lots of folks love Florida, or at least like it enough to move and stay put.
I really doubt that. It is not about actually losing your home, it is about quality of life, the main reason for moving there in the first place.
There will be a big cost of any flooding, borne by all Floridians
Miami aquifer sea water intrusion is a different issue, but I’m not in Miami. Due to Florida’s population, federal funds are likely to be requested and paid out to mitigate the worst effects. Plenty of water to desal with cheap wind and solar.
There is a lot of alarmism, but mostly where alarmism also sells copies.
There is wisdom in crowds, no question about that - we would be foolish to ignore that. Lots of people move to Florida.
It’s Florida’s population and the fact that it’s a swing state. We really need to get rid of the electoral college. I love how the same voters in Florida that vote for candidates that bail out Florida will vote against any measure to provide broad subsidies like universal healthcare or education.
Of course, it just so happens many Florida voters are over 65 and done with education and already have taxpayer funded healthcare (Medicare), and get nice taxpayer subsidies on their flood zone homes (NFIP). But why extend that courtesy to the rest of the country.
