“Loose dirt.”
Too simple of an explanation. /s
Have the Obamas sold their oceanfront at a loss yet? Until then I cry bullshit on this and other stories like it. F*ck their fake news propoganda.
Funny, the water level is the same place its always been for centuries in Florida. This sounds like a local problem to me.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
FALSE.
‘this rate of erosion was not typical,’
Uh...erosion is entirely different than rising water level. The east coast has been losing beach front housing to erosion since people have built there. It’s ALWAYS been a gamble.
Fire sale prices, so they can be snapped up by apparatchiks after the Great Reset.
At least thirty years ago, some wizards of smart in and around Carlsbad, Kalifornia spent way too much $$$ to ‘restore’ some of the beach area. Without building anything to break the wave action, they deposited (dumped) tons of sand very close to the water. Eventually, the NATURAL wave action of the ocean swept most of the ‘new’ sand out to sea.
When the Great Cold returns, the global ice will increase dramatically, and there will be even more beachfront access. At the same time, I wonder if New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc will be abandoned to the elements due to the democRAT decay. Perhaps they will all be demolished, except for a small corner of San Francisco. A few city blocks in San Francisco could be maintained, with drug paraphernalia, needles, and petrified human waste. This area will be maintained as a reminder to never follow the RATS. It could be named the Hussein / Pelousy Memorial.
Climate experts believe the rise in sea levels and unforgiving storms, intense rainfall and coastal flooding and erosion are the culprits putting homeowners in a precarious position - and the unpredictability of it all.“
“Climate experts”
One house and experiencing things that have been happening since the dawn of time.
I lived in Ocean City Md in 1978 and remember dump trucks bringing in sand to make up for the erosion along the boardwalk. They’ve been doing that for 100 years. Erosion happens.
Look at the real estate market all over NYS.
I have never seen so much expensive housing up for sale all over the state at the same time.
And I’m a life climate change, my derriere.
Note to the folks trying to sell: Don’t make the same mistake elsewhere.
We are NOT going to be voting-with-our-feet our way out of this.
Lions, Tigers and Bear...Oh My!
Did Obamanation sell his house yet?
Shorelines are one of the most malleable geographic features, due mostly to erosion, not rising water. The Roman port cities of Ostia and Herculaneum are now both significantly far inland, and that’s only been 2000 years or less since they were operating ports. Sedimentation and erosion are why shorelines shift, not water rise. What a bunch of goofballs.

The insurance rates must be nuts.
Everything described in the article is due to normal processes. Hurricanes reshape shorelines all the time.
I’m not a hydrologist, but seems to me that one of the things that people do when they build mansions on sea cliffs is put in lawns and constantly water them. Hmm….erosion you say?
The crap the climate cultist spew is staggering. Let’s see, waves, wind and land corrosion. I believe that’s called mother nature.
Glad I didn’t have a nice home on the Colorado River in Arizona 4 million years ago.
Nantucket, Marthas Vineyard, and Cape Cod are glacial moraine, remnants of the the last Ice Age. Essentially just big sandbars. The ocean was always going to reclaim it. Strangely enough, Cape Cod is moving westward. As the eastern shore erodes, the western shore accretes. My mother’s cousin owns her parent’s place on the bay in Touro. Since the 1950’s, the shore has actually receded about 20 feet. Pretty soon they’ll be in Plymouth.
