For areas where the geology allows seawalls, and there is a large developed area at low elevation, it’s sometimes possible to buy a century worth of use of that area. Can be worthwhile as an adaptation measure, even if it’s not a solution.
We’re going to be doing a lot of adapting thanks to the damage already done.

Literally why.
Just move.
Or better yet, don’t melt the ice caps.
Move how? Nobody wants to buy if they try to sell, so many people would not be able to afford to move.
But they can afford to build a huge fucking wall?
…you think the homeowners are paying for that?
I mean if your point is that the government should just pay out the homeowners instead of building a wall, I agree with you.
Yeah, the town should just be closed and returned to the wild.
