@Raccoon Yes, if it has flooded, make it either public land xor make it so nobody can build on it.

Like, there are things we could be building there that would not be a big deal if there was a flood, things that might actually be useful to have out on a barrier island or something, but these people building one story houses for millions of dollars right at the edge of the sand, then drowning in them when the hurricane hits and the water level goes above the roof, then the surviving population has to chip in massive amounts of money to repair the area.This is on top of the ongoing issue of the fact that they are taking up the spaces that people want to go to with one story houses in the first place.
Can we just like, not build one story houses on the beach?
