3. I love the coast

so I rent there and live 300 miles away at 1000 feet above sea level in a city built on granite. My sister lives 20 feet above sea level a block away from a brackish marsh. Houses 3 doors down from her were flooded in the last hurricane, and she's had to evacuate twice. The island where she lives can't be occupied when water floods the sewer system, so it has to be evacuated after major storms even if there is no wind damage. Property values haven't declined there, so far.
