Properties on the coast now trade at Discounts as flood waters and ‘king tides’ damp enthusiasm for oceanfront living

Rising Sea Levels Reshape Miami’s Housing Market
MIAMI—Concerns over rising sea levels and floods are beginning to reshape one of the country’s largest housing markets, with properties closer to sea level now trading at discounts to those at higher elevations.
Research published Friday in the journal of Environmental Research Letters shows that single-family homes in Miami-Dade County are rising in value more slowly near sea level than at higher elevations, as buyers weigh the possibilities of more-frequent minor flooding in the short term and the challenge of reselling...

I have seen it first hand. The businesses and residents near the beach are fighting a losing battle. And the deniers will continue to lie about solid scientific data until the day of reckoning.
Has anyone told Barack Obama? He just bought some nice shit right on the beach.

Obama's house is 10' above sea level.
The property - 3-10 feet above.
At 1/8" a year, perhaps now 3/16th of an inch a year sea level rise (and you can double that rise IMO with accelerated melt) he won't have to worry much in his lifetime.
People with the money want to enjoy it in their lifetime even knowing it's long term fate/cost.
It's amortizing current pleasure cost.
Miami and the S-E and Gulf coasts have a much faster rise/pressing problem. (where Jared and Ivanka just bought on Star Island)

Exactly why Bill Gates and Obama and Kerry own beachfront property? Stop the bullshit. I forgot Al Gore.

The difference is that Trump doesn't buy into the scary sea level rise at all while Gore, Obama, Travolta and more smarmy dumb ass leftists like them are screaming about sea level rise yet still buy homes along ocean fronts anyway.
You have nothing here.
all the years i lived California the beaches all seemed to look the same today as they did in the 70's....
Same here.
I've been fishing the Gulf Coast for over 40 years and it's still the same.
Now if a hurricane hits it does change the area where it hit,some places will lose a little shoreline and others will gain.
How stupid can one person be?
Trying to make a point by bringing up Trump is pretty stupid.
All you're doing is agreeing with us.
you just asked jimmy a question he cant answer.....
...or wont answer.
The willfully ignorant right continues to deny the fact of climate change.

You've done nothing to help, so you're just as much a denier.
