This is hilarious. The U.S. Corps of Engineers has dangled a $42 million carrot to replenish sand on beaches in front of expensive houses but the homeowners don’t want it at the expense of having to create public access easements (because federal dollars can only go towards improving public, not private, beaches). This town is going to get annihilated by the next big storm because these little tyrants want to keep their beaches private.

Good riddance to all those giant homes parked on the coast. Let those avaricious dentists and real estate scam artists bleed from their check books for once instead of us. Do you all know how many I see with Trump signs on the front side? Nearly all of them. From Ormond Beach to St. Augustine, it’s nonstop Trump signs along the coast. I never saw it with Mitt Romney or McCain, but as soon as they really started to crank up the immigrant scapegoating to 11, the signs all came out.

Imagine being able to take a boat up and down the coast and seeing nature instead of a wall of mcmansions and private property signs.

Eminent domain everything within 1000’ of high tide

It’s beautiful country and I wish it belonged to everyone that way. Sometimes I wish I could see it 100, 200 years ago to see what we’ve lost. Right now it’s being further destroyed by a bunch of rich retirees and fail chuds from the north who have no concept of environmental stewardship.

Trump will nuke the hurricane to save the Florida boaters, but it just makes a tsunami and the hurricane becomes a radioactive category 7

To think this is an actual policy consideration and no longer just a one off joke from Idiocracy.

Maybe they will do a season of the Fallout show where this is a major plot point.

Literally rather rule the ashes than try to help stop the fire.

Fighting fires is WOKE! Have you ever seen a fire engine? RED like the commies! I didn’t spend two tours in 'nam spreading fire on [slurs] to go around putting them out now.

Cannot wait to watch the slow then very rapid death of luxury housing along the Florida coastline.

I think it’s going to be more slow, very rapid, then slow again because well we had that once in a hundred year storm, then very rapid again shortly after, then sort of speedily after that

I think all it will take is another big storm with insurance defaults cause a massive development flight from Florida or at least the coastline which would create a overall effect of less bougie investments in lots of areas.

The tax payers will foot the bill when the local government buy them out at retroactive “market value” right before the wall falls into the sea.
