The effects of climate-driven price drops could ripple across the economy, and eventually force the federal government to decide what is owed to people whose home values are ruined by climate change.
Why does the federal government have any obligation to these property owners? They choose to purchase property on the coast, there have always been risks associated with the reward of being on the coast.
Good idea, if necessary; e.g. Tappan Zee Replacement project in NY state across the Hudson. THAT is an example of a very outdated bridge that carries far in excess of the projected traffic voluem when it was built in the 1950’s, and it was designed /expected to last 50 years.
But, eventually, many of us will travel by air-autos and HYUUUUUGE drones. Some will tele-commute to work, as a ‘few’ million workers do now. So, why spend so much on roadways and bridges that will be used less in the future? I say spend more on landing pads in your back yards or apartment parking lots, and less on less important roads. (But what do I really know, because I commute from place to place on icebergs?)
There are eight words in the article which I find quite interesting: “….and let the land REVERT to CREEK BED.” (emphasis added) Hmmm.
Another point to ponder: IF taxpayers are to “bail out” (no pun intended) property owners whose values decline due to rising waters(?!), should the taxpayers also take any profit if the waters don’t rise, and the property values increase? Yes. If the taxpayers are to guarantee no financial loss, then property owners should be required to sign an agreement that any increase in value belongs to the taxpayers. Doesn’t make any sense to say “I lost money due to rising water, you must pay me”, and then under another scenario say “I sold my property for a profit, and it’s all mine”.
People involved in solving NFIP’s problems have some solutions which are also applicable to problems associated with SLOWLY rising sea levels… due to NATURAL forces, NOT HUMAN actions. But most people in charge over the last two decades were of the mindset to ‘tax’ more to fix the problem, however they wanted to impose or define ‘taxes’.
Insurance underwriters should be able to analyze the mitigation tactics that worked in their specific lines and apply some, albeit adapted to the specifics of flooding and receding land on bodies of water.
So, I’m calling on creative underwriters to put on their ‘thinking hats’, to counter those who are pushing Global Man-made Warming hoaxes, to suggest ways to mitigate, transfer, or eliminate risks of approaching waters… Ready, steady, … GO!
Also, to your question on property value increases if waters do not rise….
Why would the public sell the property it bought to prevent loss of property to rising waters? It has domicile property and no need to use the flood plain property. The market wouldn’t increase the value if domicile or commercial property were available elsewhere. The original proeprty owners no longer hold any claim to the sold flood plain properties…. and have no right to gains or losses in value.
Except I’ve seen you deny it, even without the qualifiers, which are unnecessary in this context, just as they are for other scientifically proven and accepted ideas.
WRONG, again! The lack of qualifiers preceding the term are what allow GLOBAL WARMING HOAXERS to continue to LIE.

I simply do not understand how Agent, Polar and whoever can not only deny climate change but also mock people who do. I don’t think they realize how they come across.

Just stop. No one cares. You are like the kid who breaks a lamp because his parents don’t give him enough positive attention. Negative attention is better than none at all, right? By the way, based on my analysis you should be in 10th grade now. Good luck buddy! Hope your parents increase your bedtime!
I am not sure what is more entertaining – your complete delusion or the fact you don’t know how to respond appropriately to others’ comments. I didn’t mention Bill Nye. I don’t care about Bill Nye. Polar, I agree with you that the Liberal MSM and a lot of progressives are interested in silencing the opinions of others. I agree that if they don’t like something they normally claim its sexist, racist or any other ism or ist they can think of. That being said, honestly, you are no better. You aren’t dumb but you are severely misguided and so trapped by party affiliation that you refuse to believe anything other than that which you are told . When is the last time you disagreed with the GOP? Open your mind. This time, please, please try to respond with something of substance. Do you realize you come across as a troll a majority of the time? I am telling you this as a fellow human. You aren’t making a dent in anyone’s opinion here. You are simply giving them more ammunition. When is the last time you questioned something told to you by Fox, Breitbart, Infowars or whatever else you may listen to?
Nye is not a Science Guy. He has elected himself to be a SILENCER GUY, to silence those who know the truth about Climate Change NOT being significantly influenced by humans, and is thus a part of the topic of this article…. i.e. fair game to discuss.
YOU don’t set rules as regards what is fair game to discuss, within the umbrella of the topic.

This excerpt from Wiki is not a good endorsement of Bill Nye’s deceitful character:
Nye announced his engagement during an appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and was married to his fiancée of five months, musician Blair Tindall, on February 3, 2006. The ceremony was performed by Rick Warren at The Entertainment Gathering at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Yo-Yo Ma provided the music.[66] Nye left the relationship seven weeks later when the marriage license was declared invalid.[67] In 2007, Nye received a protective order against Tindall after an incident in which she came onto his property and used herbicide to damage his garden. Tindall admitted this but denied being a threat to him.[68] In 2012, Nye sued Tindall for unpaid attorney’s fees he incurred while he went to court in 2009 to enforce the protective order against Tindall after she allegedly violated it. According to Nye’s court filings, she was ordered to pay these fees; to date, she has not paid any of it.[69]
Perhaps he should be called Bill ‘Nuptia-lie’, the Invalid Licenses and Degrees Guy?

The Earth will eventually be destroyed when the sun dies. The FACT that government isn’t relocating us to another solar system despite it being too expensive to happen is PROOF they are implicitly denying the scientific fact that the sun will one day die. Stupid beyond belief.
yes
@UW; you fail, again! The migration away from Earth has MUCH MORE time to do than migration from rising seas.
The government isn’t doing the latter, but NASA has always been studying migration to other planets and solar systems.
YOU FAILED.
Government hasn’t stopped murder, so it’s not a problem. Duuuuur
UW,
You are arguing with someone (Polar) who doesn’t use logic to form thoughts thus logic will not change his mind. The sun is dying. The earth is dying. At what speed…I don’t think we are quite sure of that yet but this absurd belief that humanity will persist forever is simply wrong.
Enjoy your travel down your new rabbit holes.
Govt can’t stop murder. Dur squared.
I took a lot of different college courses, BUT I ALSO PASSED THEM ALL.
Who ya gonna believe, a scientist or an ex real estate salesman?
Climate Hoaxers don’t want anyone to see this report on their scam that is being exposed….

I expect many down votes, perhaps enough to censor this post… temporarily, until I replace it.
LOL at the latest Nye show denouncing De-Nye-ers:

CAPTION UNDER THE SCREEN OF THE ABOVE VIDEO: “The fake science guy, without a science degree calls this his new show…which is the most ridiculous thing you will ever see in science up until this point.”
Polar,
Just stop. No one cares. You are like the kid who breaks a lamp because his parents don’t give him enough positive attention. Negative attention is better than none at all, right? By the way, based on my analysis you should be in 10th grade now. Good luck buddy! Hope your parents increase your bedtime!
Paraphrasing of CTT:
Stop! You’re discrediting my hero, Bill NYE, the SILENCER GUY.
Polar,
I am not sure what is more entertaining – your complete delusion or the fact you don’t know how to respond appropriately to others’ comments. I didn’t mention Bill Nye. I don’t care about Bill Nye. Polar, I agree with you that the Liberal MSM and a lot of progressives are interested in silencing the opinions of others. I agree that if they don’t like something they normally claim its sexist, racist or any other ism or ist they can think of. That being said, honestly, you are no better. You aren’t dumb but you are severely misguided and so trapped by party affiliation that you refuse to believe anything other than that which you are told . When is the last time you disagreed with the GOP? Open your mind. This time, please, please try to respond with something of substance. Do you realize you come across as a troll a majority of the time? I am telling you this as a fellow human. You aren’t making a dent in anyone’s opinion here. You are simply giving them more ammunition. When is the last time you questioned something told to you by Fox, Breitbart, Infowars or whatever else you may listen to?
Nye is not a Science Guy. He has elected himself to be a SILENCER GUY, to silence those who know the truth about Climate Change NOT being significantly influenced by humans, and is thus a part of the topic of this article…. i.e. fair game to discuss.
YOU don’t set rules as regards what is fair game to discuss, within the umbrella of the topic.
