Yeah, about that.
My province just had a very dry summer with very low water levels. Some wells dried up.
At some point farmers were wondering how they would be watering their crops if it got any worse.
Or what about flash flooding, either on flat ground, or in mountain towns? Or wild fires?
There’s certainly places safer than others, but a lot more people are going to be affected than just coastal inhabitants.

another thing is the drier summers make flash flooding more likely as the soil hardens and then has less capability to absorb the rainfall when it’s been completely dried out…
Also the more chaotic weather means heavier rain in shorter bursts…

I live in Chicago. What happens here is our insurance goes up to help supplement the increased coverage needed in places with increased disasters :)

I’m so glad we don’t socialize these costs! I don’t want MY money paying for SOMEONE ELSE which is why I like PRIVATE INSURANCE!

A competing company can open an insurance scheme for Chicago homes only at the original price. The private sector has far fewer insensitives to subsidize weakness
