Sorry..no sympathy at all.If you choose to live on,or near,the ocean you must acknowledge that there are potential drawbacks,even serious ones.I don’t care if we’re talking Hawaii,California,Florida,New Jersey or Massachusetts.You chose to live there...deal with it!
Exactly right....Use common sense when you build....
Like I said, I feel somewhat bad for them. If they want to throw their own money at a losing proposition they can knock themselves out trying to postpone the inevitable.
If they ask for any help from the govt forget it. They’re on their own

I would be interested in knowing what kind of property taxes they have been paying over their lifetimes - and why that money was not used to build sea-walls and protective dunes.
Agreed. If you build within five miles of the shoreline you deserve what ever you get.
Mother Nature is not to be messed with. She ALWAYS wins. She has lots of time on her side. We are puny to her.
I would put money on it that they have gov or state taxpayer subsidized insurance for their dwellings due to private property insurers either a) would not insure property or b) it would be exhorbitantly high due to the risk.
So no pity for these people. They like anyone living on the coast from Corpus Christi to Maine are probably at the government trough via taxpayer subsidized property insurance. And if it weren’t for the taxpayer subsidized insurance they would not be there or would have to pay the true cost of living there, which I would bet most couldn’t afford witout the subsidy.
