Translation: unethical or uninformed developers are building cheep homes in flood zones and making bank.

So many people - some I know - are moving or want to move to Florida. They shrug when I remind them it will be under water within 50 years, and above 110 degrees Fahrenheit the majority of the year even sooner. Then there are the expanding diseases and parasites.

Can't fix stupid.
