For some reason, your video popped up on my Home Screen so I decided to watch. Pretty cool overview of the Sarasota area and you did a good job representing. Perhaps it popped up because the wire and I were exploring areas we may want to retire in and there were some Florida areas we explored. The rising property tax and insurance in Florida essentially pivoted us away and then the new condo law really blew up Florida options. We narrowed our focus on the mid-Atlantic area where waterfront properties overall are significantly less.

Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes fill the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.

People in Sarasota that live on the ocean don't have mortgages. I worry for the Obama's, who just bought a 50 million dollar property up on Martha's Vineyard.
