They claim the SL in Miami has risen 1 foot in the last few years while the global sea level rise since 1850 has only been 7 inches.
Maybe Miami is sinking...
So what's up with all that glacial melting 8-18000 years ago?

But in South Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties — concerns over erosion and the quest for sand are particularly urgent for one reason: there is almost no sand left offshore to replenish the beaches.

Looks like rising sea levels have leveled off.

We were visiting some residents on the Gulf when I was down there and they were showing us where the beach was when they first moved there a few years ago. Significant changes over that amount of time.
It's going to affect those high rises they have built there at some point. It is global warming and it is expected to rise more.
Such problems are already evident at Broad Beach, where severe erosion is currently undermining coastal homes and residents are preparing to spend $20 million on a plan to permanently restore the beach to its 100-foot width within the next six years. Contingent on the slope of the beach, every inch the sea level rises claims an average of 50 inches of land.
The narrowing trend of Broad Beach (and of many Southern California beaches) is being caused by a combination of recurring weather patterns and rising sea levels, according to Gary Griggs, a professor of earth and planetary science at UC Santa Cruz and director of the university's Institute of Marine Sciences.

If I owned real estate down there, I would be very concerned.
Insurance costs will be destroying Miami well before it goes under the waves for good. After a couple good storms, insurance will be too costly for anyone but the most wealthy. Housing will get abandoned, the tax base will dry up, and so the flood control infrastructure will decay, hastening the process.
I suppose they could try to turn Miami into a sort of Venice, but that would take time and money and planning by serious people. Meaning it won't be proposed until it's too late.
So Frank, I suggest you invest now. So you can lose you shirt. Unless you manage to snag a government bailout. Being a conservative, you're no doubt very talented at that.
