The Gunas of Gardi Sugdub are the first of 63 communities along Panama’s Caribbean and Pacific coasts that government officials and scientists expect to be forced to relocate by rising sea levels in the coming decades.
It's already a problem they are ignoring. Property insurance costs are becoming untenable and new insurers leave the state entirely every year. People will be forced out of those areas due to costs alone long before the sea engulfs them. You can't get a mortgage for a property nobody will insure.
Yeah. It is possible that one bad hurricane season could bankrupt the state as the state of Florida has become the insurer of last resort for a large chunk of the state.
Skimming through the photos, they completely neglected to connect any of the sidewalks in the new dystopian refugee village. Whole community went from 100% car free to 100% car-reliant.
The suburban/inner city project camp was definitely a stark contrast to the village that sprouted up on that tiny island. At least they're offering them homes but it also seems like it'll take a lot of adjustment to adapt to a new life of having to worry about having a greener lawn than the neighbors and what new fast-casual restaurant is opening in the nearby stripmall.
