    My wife and I moved about 1,200 miles north due to climate change, reading forecasts and learning about water predictions where there won’t be water shortages in the next 50 years. We’re a couple hundred feet above sea level too. So far so good after 3+ years. We know that as it gets worse, everyone will keep moving up here. My home value rose over 130k so far in the last 3 years because of people moving here, and this is a poor New England area.

      It’s strange to think that once prized waterfront property is going to end up a liability for many.

      I’m glad you were able to get where you wanted to be at a good time!
