I get that you like the weather, but you’re stupid if you think the rest of us are going to keep paying for your disaster relief or feds pay for mitigation measures.
It's hard to move when you've been somewhere a long time or have family a certain place. On the other hand, people who actually move there, like to retire in The Villages or whatever, may regret the choice. I'd think insurance will be a financial obstacle or people will need to self insure, if it's not already that way. I have friends who moved there for retirement a couple of years ago and I tried subtly to express some worries to them. I think there are still some people who are still stuck in "there is a no climate change" mentality.

News was saying that less than 10% of the population in Ashville have flood insurance and FEMA only pays a mere pittance of what would be needed to fully recover.
