@ryangreen4824 Absolute nonsense? Almost every city and town government is taking measures to protect the shoreline and rising tides. You must live in Kansas.

I have heard that Pittsburgh is now a great place to live. All the Florida lovers will be disappointed when the State gets even more crowded and the existing infrastructure of water, sewers, electricity and roads can't support the migration. And that's not even factoring in the increased cost of climate change problems like shore erosion and hurricane damage. The only answer will be either a state income tax or increased real estate and sales taxes. Infrastructure is extremely expensive. Until now Florida has been "coasting" on these expenditiures or relying on federal funds. Get ready for taxes. and for areas like the Keys, get ready to find that your home is unsellable because it's half or fully underwater. It's already happening.

@henrygurney7067 Rich people also move to (or claim reside in) areas that have low or zero tax rates. So many FL "residents" have a part-time address in the state that does not qualify for residency under the tax laws. They stop paying the taxes due in their legal residency state. The NYS Dept of Finance has a team of people in Fort Lauderdale looking for NYers with a PO box or part-time condo unit who claim not to owe NY taxes, even though they live and work in NY.

Some smart people like Paul Tudor Jones have seen the writing on the wall and have begun to abandoned the Florida Keys. Eventually the Keys will be under water but even in the shorter term they are likely to bear the worst of storms made powerful by warmer ocean temperatures.

@Smorss2011 True. Problem is Florida is so flat, no topography/elevations. If the sea rises it will flow until it hits elevation above it.

Nuclear power has very little carbon footprint.
