The California Coastal Commission is set to empower local government to take thousands of properties through eminent domain along 1,100 miles of coastline to prepare for sea level rise.

Despite California being battered by 4-8 inches of torrential rain and flooding from an El Niño weather cycle, E&E News reported that the State of California in late January will authorize eminent domain authority for local jurisdictions to implement a “managed retreat” policy that will allow taking and demolishing coastal homes and businesses. […]

CCC retreat guidance is expected to also entail dismantling and relocating of dozens of wastewater treatment and power plants; 250 miles of highway; 1,500 miles of roads; and 110 miles of railways, according to the latest California Special Districts magazine. […]

The supposedly settled science that climate change is melting the poles and causing massive sea level rise has come under severe scientific scrutiny over the last few years. The doomsday models of climate change scientists are having a difficult time explaining why the European Alps are currently experiencing the heaviest snowfall in 100 years, the Arctic polar bear population is increasing, and the Greenland ice sheet just grew to its sixth highest surface mass on record. …

... California Coastal Commission's guidance will allow local jurisdictions to fund the cost of using eminent domain to manage their retreat by "buying the homes and then renting them out until they're damaged."

This how they plan to pay for this cluster.

Red-White-Blue beach (private beach) north of Santa Cruz closed access rather than being forced to sell.

Total sea level rise is 3.1 millimeters per year. What "orderly retreat" is necessary for an inch-and-a-half of sea level rise?

In before the CA FReepers start whining about how CA has more FReepers than other states and how they contribute more to the FReepathons and that CA is still a better place to live.

The consequences of Communist California.

To all the wealthy and relatively wealthy long-time Californians that have been faithful as can be to the Democrats (Marxists): They DON’T need your vote any more. Your complaints and petitions will yield nothing. They’ve got the Mexicans. You are screwed.
