I really don't understand why someone would buy a house that's a few feet above sea level. [View all]

On the coast. I should add that caveat. I’m talking about a home, not some vacation property. You keep all your important stuff there. Maybe you’ve got important paper work in a lock box somewhere, but that would only protect a very small amount of stuff. One or two feet of water would pretty much destroy everything on the ground floor or in the basement. It’s pretty much a guarantee that will happen at sometime. Is looking out at the ocean every day worth tailgating risk?
