Scituate, MA - Climate Migration
A good video of the problems faced by Scituate, MA, from the nor'easters this past spring.
https://features.weather.com/exodus/...me-every-year/ Much of the problem is blamed on climate change, but the sea level has risen by only 8 inches on average since 1900. A good article on the problem: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/1...shment-project "This year, the town of Scituate, which includes Humarock, proposed building a $9.6 million artificial dune and raised road to protect the homes. Yet some residents are prepared to block the project. The town is asking them to sign easements that would cede property rights along the privately owned beach and allow public access. Whatever concerns they have about protecting their homes are being overridden by fear of permanently relinquishing control of their property. Seems like some folks bring on the problems themselves, but like to blame climate change. |

I'm fine with people living on that beach if that's what they want, but I'm not fine with repeated tax payer bail outs. |

When seen in an overhead view, it appears they're just trying hard to tempt mother nature. |

Don't go pick'in on one of my favorite towns up here (Scituate) :-) Go back to your insideclimatenews.org link and scroll down a bit until you come upon an interactive map. Check that out. You'll find that Massachusetts has invested a mere pittance to coastal erosion compared to all the other states on the east coast, especially Florida. Since 1990 Florida has had major projects on both coasts, from Jacksonville to Miami and from Cape Coral to Tampa. Most of the money spent has been from New Jersey and southward and includes every state from there to Florida. |

They blame 'climate change' but don't want to do the things necessary to protect themselves. |
