If climate change is real, the odds are S. Florida, all of it below Lake Ockachobee will be underwater, not much, but enough to destroy trillions of dollars of property.

This is expected in the next 30 to 50 years.

There are already discussions about if the State will subsidize insurance companies providing flood insurance. Sadly, unless the state/feds agree to go the route of Holland and build a massive dike system up the east and west coasts, I am completely opposed to taxpayers paying for the coming floods. It is time for property owners to start cutting their losses and getting out of S. Florida. Needless to say, that is going to be somewhat controversial.

On the other hand, I expect great deals on land on the coasts of S. Florida if you don't believe Climate Change is real.

Since the vast majority of climate scientists predict continued Global Warming for the next 30 years, the US military and Navy are making contingency plans for abandoning many low-lying Naval bases on the East Coast. This includes Annapolis (and may include Jacksonville).
