Hey someone remind me. Isn’t a lot of areas like Ft Myers built on limestone and having a bunch of sea water gushing around big apartment buildings possibly bad for stability?

while this is true, have you considered that these buildings are big enough that our monkey brains think they're permanent landscape fixtures and also that if we believe hard enough things come true

I’m sure they’ll be fine. the people that live there are the main characters. just like the people on Twitter asking for helicopters to be sent to their now underwater house.

i remain mortified by how traditional hydrological considerations like permeability and runoff are just sorta handwaveable south of I dunno Sebring because PERMEABLE TO WHERE

think of all the beautiful beachfront property that will be going onto the market soon

also lol apparently when they interview people who don't want to evacuate, one of the most common reasons isn't anything reasonable like "we have family members who can't make the trip" or "we don't have enough money to leave," but rather "someone might steal my stuff while i'm gone." american brains are so hosed up
