The whole state will be uninsurable which will begin the exodus. Subsequent hurricanes will eliminate neighborhoods that won’t get rebuilt. Then the ocean water rise will turn all their freshwater aquifers brackish ruining the groundwater. This is as the beaches are slowly taken away by the sea and coastal communities become ghost towns.
Florida is going down 👇 like the Titanic within the next 30 years. I too value natural land reserves but there are bigger movements at play to justify getting rid of conservative state leaders.
But then where will all the old people go to do acid and drink margaritas in the nude playing minigolf while their cats do bath salts??? Where will the alligators go to fuck on peoples front yards?
I like your comment because it could be interpreted in either way. Of course less than 30 years for some communities.
Rising sea level is one thing, and that goes together with damaging tropical storms. All it takes is one or two storms to devastate a coastal city. Then either the federal government says there will be no disaster relief funds here in the future, or the insurance companies will refuse to cover the area. Either of those would effectively end serious rebuilding efforts.
That’s not to say everyone will immediately disappear. If you build a concrete bunker in a relatively high place, you could stay there for decades to come. But the bulk of the community would leave and never return. If you’re looking for a related example, check out the small communities built near Kilauea in Hawaii.
The Dutch constructed enormous flood control projects to shut the country off from the sea. The Afsluitdijk and the Delta Works reduced the country’s coastline from 1,400 to 450 km. The measures needed to maintain its flood control works to accommodate sea level rise by 2100 are estimated at a cost of over €1 billion per year.
Look at a map of Florida and tell me how you’re going to close its coastline off from the sea.
This is not some small European country. This is AMERICA the powerful, dammit! We will build a wall around Florida, and we’ll make the sea pay for it!!!

I don’t doubt you’re right, but 30 years? C’mon. You and I know that’s just fantasy.

Or check out the Dutch and their below sea level communities.

But more seriously, point taken.
Looking at the map, what florida needs is a giant condom.
