Put your money where your mouth is and move to Florida.





I'm tired of bailing Floridian and coastal Texans out after hurricanes. I'm in Austin (Texas) and our insurance bills are outrageous because of coastal cities (indirect, if nontrivial). If they want to live down there, fine, but I don't want to bail them out. Houston & Corpus are the worst offenders: they produce huge amounts of CO2 per capita, and then demand bailouts when climate change fucks them over.

Well, it seems like a lot of people moving there

Climate and real estate costs have slowed inbound migration drastically, with quite a bit of folks who can no longer afford Florida moving to Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
