I'd live near the canal. Depending where, I probably wouldn't care, because I can walk places and there are shops around. Expensive ones, but still 😔
No because I’m in FL near the ocean and the closer you get to the ocean the more likely your home is to flood or have more damage during hurricanes or even just heavy rainstorms.
I guess...the Maumee River is just a block away, and all those riverfront houses cost more than mine. If I actually had to buy it, rather than trade straight-up, no...I have no use for bodies of water.
No. I disagree strongly with coastal development. People are concerned about rising tides. I don’t want to hear it. Don’t live on the damn coast and then bitch when your multi-million dollar property gets destroyed or worse, depend on tax payers for assistance because you moved your happy ass to a beach and can’t afford the loss when Mother Nature wins.... and she will win. She always does.
I’m talking more about the global warming — people bitching about rising tides. If we’d stop developing right up to th water, it would be far less of a problem.
For our area... I think it’s about once every couple decades or so, the entire thing gets mostly demolished and all the hotels and businesses rebuild. Last time we had a super treacherous one, I believe it was Floyd in 1999. Then, we had Hurricane
Isabitch (my name for it...was actually Isabelle) but that one was bad from an electrical standpoint (downed trees everywhere), not a water standpoint.
Oh shoot - that covers a lot of territory, I live 5 miles from the beach in Daytona area for 2 reasons: I'm too poor to live beachside, and because the home insurance costs are quadrupled as well as the taxes being quadruple.
