Loss of lives, property, homes, devastation, flooding, etc. not to mention billions of dollars in relief funds can be avoided by some clear, innovative thinking.

Any of the areas affected by hurricanes would include all coastal areas from Key West north to roughly Virginia Beach and west to Brownsville, Tx. Then why stop at hurricanes. What about Nor’easters? Maine to Wilmington, NC. What about earthquakes, tornadoes, forest fires, mudslides, rising sea levels. There’s a big one. According to the climate activists, we have what 11 years until the sea levels rise. Shouldn’t we be proactive and start moving inland? Start with Long Island and Manhattan. Relocate everything and everyone off those two islands. Cease all development anywhere 50 miles from the coastal areas. We need to be ready for the inevitable. Time is short.
Nah, all stupid ideas.
