During the last Interglacial Warm Period (the Eemian) the oceans were 15 to 25 feet higher than today. So more sea level rise is completely natural. We should expect that to happen because we are still thawing out from the Little Ice Age. Fortunately, the Villages is above 60 feet ASL, and we won't have to drive so far to get to the coast.
