Insurance cost is thru the roof thanks😮😮😮 to this fellows and those pricy mansions .

[@Overlandjon]

It’s almost like privatizing the beach is dumb and dangerous.

[@Scalamucci]

Should everyone who doesn't live on the beach pay higher insurance to cover stupidity?

[@pacificrules]

Damn, $12 million dollars.... down the drain Or washed away, quite literally 😧😧😧😧

[@allendanaye]

Y'all in the middle of the beach. 😅. What do you expect 😮😮😮

I'm rooting for the ocean. 🌊🌊🌊

STOP BUILDING HOUSES ON BEACHES

[@palmettomoon23]

Florida is over developed along both coastlines, that's not the true crisis in Florida its drinking water supply, since 2010 they have known the aquifers can't support the growth yet they continue to build. It's only a matter of time before it's like Flint Michigan with no drinking water supply. Cape Coral is sinking from over drilling the aquifers. Once paradise is slowly dying, because Florida has been focused on money vs enviroment.

Well said I use to live in Fort Lauderdale in the late 80’s till 2000 it was fun and cheap. That is all gone down the toilet I remember the beach the ocean was far away. Erosion ! Now it’s out of control cost over build expensive. To many people very high insurance cost. The party is over folks and hurricane seasons is just starting ! Redneck De Santis is so toxic!

[@sentientflower7891]

The sand dune that you want to build on the beach is identical to the sand dunes built along the Pinellas county coast last October, they have eroded by at least 50% since construction so they will be gone by hurricane season. Those coastal homes need to be condemned and destroyed before they fall into the ocean and Pollute miles of coastline. See Rodanthe North Carolina.

[@palmettomoon23]

South Carolina too, they condemn when the reach the fault line, dunes, rocks, retention walls ect all failed the coastline in SC. It's roulette living near the coatlines, then a battle to insurance payouts when mother nature takes control.

[@susananderson5029]

Gambling on "bringing in sand immediately" - what fools we mortals be. It will not get better, it will get worse.

[@misterg4059]

Well now you know why Trump won Florida in 2020😂

[@k.kaiser3997]

The property is subject to the forces of the tides as everyone knew and had to consider that having the privilege of being right on the water - so it is also one's own responsibility to fortify the fortifications (with large boulders or abandon the land) .

[@k.kaiser3997]

They are so lucky that Mother Nature acts as their tax advisor and helps them drastically optimize their property taxes almost to '0' - They should be happy! 😅🤑

[@Patrick-yh5yd]

This is suppose to be the calm time of year. This will drive people inland unless they pump sand from deeper water. That would cost millions if not a billion. There are a thousand islands for turtles. Do not worry about them.

Fish A: I live by the beach Fish B: Why? Fish A: Free real estate....

[@huynguyentoantin]

When you start to build/buy a house near the beach, you should no the risk

[@jerrylockhart3069]

Don’t build next to the ocean, plenty of money, but pure stupidity😅

[@misterg4059]

Sea level rise folks😮

[@jerrylockhart3069]

Somebody’s talking about sea level rise. Do you have any idea where the sea level used to be 15,000 years ago and where it’s going to be 15,000 years from now what a bunch of dummies❤😮😅🙈💯🙄

[@Chuck-h8q]

The extreme erosion pictured is being aggravated by the rip-rap shoreline to the north. Wave energy icoming off the hardened shoreline is increasing the erosive forces on the properties to the south. This is not conjecture. It is a well-known problem when some property owners harden their shoreline and others don't. I have always wondered if their are legal issues that could be at play here.

[@k.kaiser3997]

We all know the power of erosion. If taxpayers need to maintain the value of their property, then there should be a mortgage on that property in the amount necessary to protect it from further erosion.

[@misterg4059]

That’s a new excuse you get an A+ for creativity 😂but this is sea level rise caused by man made global warming plain and simple 😮

[@Chuck-h8q]

@@misterg4059 sea level is surely rising, I agree, but my comment on the effects of hardened shorelines on down stream erosion are factual. As the ultimate, irony look at the shoreline of the last owner in the riprap chain. Higher erosive forces have cut back to the north and will soon take out both his house and the riprap in front of it.

[@misterg4059]

@@Chuck-h8q I see your point 👍

[@RatTerminator]

Build walls

[@misterg4059]

And then the beach becomes inaccessible? 😂You’re not to bright 😂

[@RobertHasty]

walls actually speed up erosion and take all the sand away. They need a major beach renourishment with rows of big dunes for protection.

[@misterg4059]

@@RobertHasty best option is to retreat and let the ocean take it, humans will not win against sea level rise 🤨
