The new paper's conclusions are stark, but it's no secret that New Orleans is highly vulnerable to rising seas as the planet warms. https://cnn.it/4tS1Une

Is the government going to pay the homeowners a fair price for their homes and property, or should they try to sell them for what they can get now that scientists are saying the rising seas will swallow them up?

The only reason the govt would have to get involved would be if they were to issue a mandatory evacuation of the area. If they tell you you have to move, then you should be compensated, kind of like eminent domain.

uhh no, the govt doesnt want your land, its your risk and due diligence.. Your protection is called insurance!!! They can suggest you evacuate in an impending storm for your safety , but they will never ‘tell’ you to move unless they want your land.. they dont!

Living below sea level is itself not a problem, if the people can maintain functional infrastructure. The problem is when the people themselves are incompetent, because they value nepotism over education.
