  • nationalize seashores, build out concrete apartment complexes

    These two bullet points are not off the wall. These are both directly pulled from US policy for Puerto Rico during the New Deal era. (Puerto Rico is part of the USA, for those that do not know)

    The entire coastline of Puerto Rico is public land, and easy access to it (access easement) is enforced by law.

    Concrete apartment complexes, also known as “caserios”, has been the standard build for public housing in Puerto Rico since the New Deal. Concrete makes sense due to the frequency hurricanes on the island. Due to climate change, this is something the US Atlantic coast should also.be preparing for.

    Neither of those policies are radical. In fact, they are very smart and proactive in the face of an inevitable increase of storms in the Atlantic.
