That's going to look so beautiful underwater in a few years.
In addition to the flood risk, the wind risk is rated very high, too.
Consequently, they have the third-highest insurance rates in the U.S.: Median premium-to-market value ratio = 2.2 %
I wonder if Trump and cronies will ever, in populist demands for lower premiums, brandish their climate denialism at insurance companies. Ordinarily, it's a safe bet that nothing is too ridiculous for Republicans, but insurers don't make compromises. They'll probably end up making up some eyewash together.
For when you're min/maxing the amount of 'waterfront property' you can sell.
More like when you're building in a swamp and need to dig out a bunch of dirt to build up the land and put houses on it. I can't imagine flood insurance is cheap there.
The flood insurance is taxpayer subsidized, of course. Because we all need to be responsible for the bad decisions of a few wealthy developers.
Flood insurance is often also subsidized by other insurance purchasers who are not at flood risk! The insurer purchases insurance insurance in case they need to pay out more then they have, which gets added to their admin costs and distributed out to their customers.
Looks like a ‘canary in the coal mine’ for global warming
looks like a circuitboard!
needs more roads right?
Roads?!! Where we're going we don't need roads!!!
(We need boats)
The demographics are very interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Coral,_Florida?wprov=sfti1 The Latino population has doubled in 10 years. Not as “white suburboisie” as I thought.
GTA Cape Coral, when?
Wow, looks kind of like an Amsterdam / Venice / Hamburg situation!
Except those places all have souls.
Just with more hurricanes.
Yeah, I and was thinking with rising sea levels... not a great combo.
I am pretty sure this city has the most navigable waterways of any city in the world. Even dwarfing Venice and Amsterdam.
Yeah but they have problems providing fresh water and sewage to the residents.
Seems like fresh water shouldn't be too bad. Just run pipes along all the roads. A lot of pipes to run, but not really much more than any other maze of residential neighborhoods. The pipes can be as long and convoluted as they need to be as long as you've got water towers supplying pressure.
Sewer will be more of a challenge, though, since it needs to be gravity fed and have a constant slope.
This tangle of roads looks like it is frequented by the mighty minotaur
