Yeah, and according to a new Florida statute no legislation or state document can use the term "climate change", because down here one must not be heard to say that such a thing exists. Apparently Miami is just working through a phased plan to raise its streets two feet above the sidewalks because it seems like a fun way to spend money.

Miami Beach is raising streets by an astonishing 2 feet in an effort to protect the city from the impending sea level rise due to climate change.

But what does Oregon have to do with cutting EV charging cables?

There used to be a morning radio show in San Diego that I'd listen to every weekday on the way to work. One of their features was "Stupid News", three items about people doing incredibly dumb things from all over the country, sometimes the world. But the weird thing was that almost every day, one or two of the stories were things that happened in Florida.

Even among Floridians, the bizarre news stories that crop up daily down here are a running joke. I've lived in 10 states, and this is easily the craziest one I've ever inhabited. My personal favorite is the guy who threw a 4-foot alligator through the drive-thru window at a fast food restaurant.

I think I’m losing brain cells. How on earth would doing that “protect” the city from climate change? What an idiotic waste of money.

I have to say, that radio show sounds like it would be hilarious to listen to. Is it still live, and if not, are there any alternatives?

But to be fair there are a lot of reasons so many people are moving to Florida. Likewise some other states are seeing an exodus. Last I looked hmp10, you weren’t planning an immediate move out of Florida!

There’s a lot of jokes I would love to make about this, but I think I’ll refrain from posting them due to how cruel they are.

It is not meant to protect from sea level rise. It is meant to deal with it, as least insofar as keeping traffic moving during rains.
There's very little publicity about it -- and with the new "Don't Say Climate Change" law it's now official state policy to stay mum -- but there's a lot going on in Florida that actually recognizes sea level rise. Brackish water is penetrating deeper into the Everglades, and the Army Corps of Engineers is trying to address it. Palm Beach County a few years ago had to add $75MM to their budget to deal with sea water incursion into their public water and sewer systems. I live in an area with numerous drainage canals, and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD, or "swift mud" as it's colloquially known) is massively upgrading the canal management system to handle rain waters that are having more trouble draining into the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, one of the lots in our small homeowner's association recently surrendered to eminent domain for the construction of an elaborate new automated canal gate system. Also, Florida has also been (again, quietly) applying for all available federal funds for infrastructure projects to counter sea level rise.

There have been two main attractors to Florida: weather and the lack of state income tax. Weather is quickly receding as an attractor, especially as homeowner insurance rates have soared and housing prices have gone through the roof.
No, I am not planning an immediate move. Nor am I one of those people who become unable to see the issues around me just because I live somewhere.
The fact, though, is that migration into Florida is beginning to slow while migration out of Florida is growing, with many migrants out favoring other southern states.

Actually the most common reason I hear for those giving pause to moving to Florida is housing & insurance cost. Florida, not so long ago, was a relatively ’cheap’ place for housing. Not so much anymore. For me personally, it was always the heat. I don’t do well in hot & humid environments. I remember well visiting my parents many years ago before anyone heard of climate change. As soon as the doors to the plane opened up, it was like an instant sauna.
Anyway, back to severed charging cables.

Undoubtedly, climate change exists and it does happen.

One of my friends lives over there, he reads the posts. And i love to make my usual pokes...
