Between the USG and Insurance Companies we are fucked. I don't live near a river or stream but my entire development is low lying and almost everyone has basement water problems. So many housing developments in the last 30 years should have never been built. If we ever had 12 inches plus of rain and the power went off so the sump pumps wouldn't work many would be looking at a major rebuild and be screwed. My homeowners insurance is due again in January and I dread to look at it last year it went up about 30%.

My brother is going to move out of Florida due to insurance. Unfortunately he wants to move to NC which is going to see spikes too.
I know the midwest gets a bad rap because its not cool but outside of some snow, its pretty quiet. Well flooding is a concern depending on where you live but no hurricanes, fires and we don't have to worry about water rations. Yeah I had to deal with some tornado shit this year but that happens once every 50 years. Cost of living is low and if the world does get hotter, well we will be ok.
Just got to deal with some fluffy stuff which isn't that bad once you get a snowblower/

Never thought I’d say this, but it’s cheaper to for me to live in the panhandle. Once you get over paying 700k for a house, the actual cost of living is cheaper. Food is cheaper, gas is cheaper, insurance is cheaper, the lot.
Georgia is a lovely place. Especially north Georgia, but there are too many fucking people. And Atlanta is getting too expensive.
Plus my wife told me it’s in my best interest to take the job offered on the gulf coast.
Plus, going to the beach twice a week ain’t a bad way to live.

*Phil Hartman's Ed McMahon voice* You are correct, sir!
I think my favorite new detail is that, when Trump was refusing to send help the Capitol and he was subsequently told Vice President Pence had to be taken to a secure location for his safety due to the breach and that those coming after him were chanting "Hang Mike Pence" after Trump's tweet, Trump's response was, "So what?"

Speaking for myself, I'm not going to deny that I never expected to see and hear what I saw after the 2020 election. It's one of many things that I disapproved of. The coronavirus was the biggest reason he lost 2020. He should have acknowledged that and accepted it. Even though I also believe there was a large collaborative effort to hide certain info from voters and manipulate public opinion, that's different than saying that voters were changed to hand Biden the win.

See, now it's this that I think is one of the fundamental problems today. A micro version of this is, say, on abortion, the left saying "They want to subjugate women and control their bodies!" and the right says, "They want to murder babies!" and everyone shouts past each other. This type of thing tells me that no one really wants to actually solve the problem because no one is interested in actually understanding the other side's position in order to try and convince them to change their mind.
So let's take another, small example, the Jones Act. The Jones Act purports to be "pro-America," in demanding that any ship that goes directly from one US port to another must be 100% US made with a US crew flying a US flag. However, I would argue, with specific examples, that it harms the US more than it helps. But I don't just tell people you must hate America if you are in favor of a policy I believe does more harm to America than good. No, I believe that they likely believe it's better.
This all just gave me a sudden epiphany to all of the "TDS," "But orange man bad," and "He said 'Grab 'em by the pussy," responses on here. It's the perfect example of people not being interested in actually understanding another side's position. I cant' tell you how many times I have explained my position on something only for it to be reduced to "But orange man bad!" or some straw man position that is clearly not what I explained.
