doomers gotta doom. 1/8" annual sea level rise and its constant since BEFORE the industrial revolution. Plan for it and build it up.

(Edit: added "annual" ...appreciate the DVs all you KB warrior doomers)

but who is going to pay for the wall? Vermont? New Hampshire?

You didn't see the rat that just went by?

That wasn’t a warning, that was a cash grab by FEMA.

Here comes the doom and gloomers.

Build the Seawall.

Long wharf is underwater from a mild storm before the ocean rises 4ft... Not a good sign

Ffs we're underwater now and weather patterns are just gonna get worse and worse while the ocean creeps higher and higher, humanity is losing all of our coastal cities to climate change.

If only drivers would too, maybe they wouldn’t kill so many tens of thousands every year. How many people were killed last year by a light running bike? Or by any bike collision? Maybe your priorities are a little completely ass backwards?

American Exceptionalism strikes again

Use electric heater for your room and you’ll probably pay at least half on heating

>what does that mean for the T

Just more slow zones.

They'll buy those submarine cars from Disney.

BUILD THAT WALL!!!

Not so much. The housing market is more geared toward spring and summer,, but there's always something for sale.

In my opinion sellers who don't sell and have a house sitting on the market around the holidays get a little more desperate to sell.

Yes. A little larger than average high tide (which are cyclical) with a little surge and you get this. It gets a little worse over time, but it is routine.

And we're going to make Quincy pay for it

This looks like a rich-people problem.

I’ve been in the seaport for a few storms and it’s been submerged

aww crap… it’s sort of true though

Beacon Hill won't act on it because they want the statehouse to be a beach house.

Yep. It’s easier to downvote in 2023 and say “don’t say ‘I told you so’” in 2033 than to recognize reality.

It's like the Midwest, instead of recognizing our existential threats, we ignore them until our irrelevance leaves us feeling like we're not missing anything anyway.

People are just waiting until (and after, look at FL) insurance isn't available to cover them. Then there will be a HUGE and subsidized movement to higher ground. We are, overall, neither that smart nor comfortable with change, no matter how inevitable.

You know those old people Facebook posts reminiscing about "drinking water from a hose" and "eating bologna" or whatever? I'd love to see one that's like "When I was a kid we bought our MD 20/20s from kindly unhoused individuals. Gen z will never understand 😭🙏🙌"

No one has mentioned this yet but if you know the utility provider (e.g. Eversource, National grid) you can call them and ask them to give you an average of the cost per month in the previous year. They will also be able to tell you summer vs winter. However it doesn't tell you the usage of the previous tenants, so you might use more/less than them and get a very different bill. Not sure about oil heat but did this for my electric and gas bill.
