On the bright side a lot of the most valuble beach front tower blocks are just huge empty investment vehicles so the rich are going to take one for the team on this one.

They already own a second or third house in a mountain state so they can ski in the winter. They're already pre-migrated.

Not as great as it seems. The thing is, everyone's retirement is tied to real-estate. The numbers my vary country by country, but nearly all pension funds and mutual funds have significant exposure to real-estate that is just ignoring the issue that those properties may become uninsurable. That's before what happens due to the economic disruption of all those cities slowly, then at an increased velocity, relocating.

It's not going to be pretty.

The rich never pay for anything. I guarantee-fucking-tee they will get a socialized payout.
