PEOPLE OWN THAT LAND and have a LEGAL right to build a home on THEIR Land. You sould like a communist. If that's what you are guess what the gov will do with your home/land = take it too. beware. Re-think about taking peoples land.
@@rickss69 The governor allows this when he has the direct power to commission state parks but fails to take responsible action. And he is not alone in this as many politicians have powers that would benefit many but they do not use them.
Unfortunately, the way that lady is building even though it will be elevated is not sufficient. You will need deep concrete pilings, robust poured concrete piers to elevate the house above "most" severe storm surges and unfortunately, just the foundation work will far exceed the price most can afford.
Very ghoulish and reflective of how your inner world/intimate life must be like. It’s okay to feel sadness for someone’s misfortune but and also hold some discernment against making an unwise move. You aren’t losing anything for people trying to love their dreams. None of us lives in a vacuum.
Older ground level homes along a coastline that gets Tropical Storms is not a good idea no more. Florida unfortunately needs to change to minimize future losses.
@@jaceware8808 But there is a lot of older ground level homes. I know. 30+ year Florida resident who has seen this state up close & personal. I also have lived in 5 Florida counties along the West coast.
One of the many reasons why my family left FLA back in the late seventies and never looked back. We would rather deal with cold winters than with Hurricane season every year.
Most of the homes described here are not actually on the beach. Those people that are on a beach are not here crying/complaining because they have the funds to rebuild or abandon out of pocket. Their money, their choices...you have zero invested and have no say in the matter.
The sea is an uncontrollable monster and its beauty is only trumped by its anger. What makes anyone think living yards away from the unpredictable shore is a good idea?
Before Hurricane Ian, most of the structures on Ft. Myers Beach (including motels) were old wood shacks...on a barrier island in hurricane prone Florida. They were always one hurricane away from total destruction. No surprises. Like the reporter said, most people left. Why? Because they couldn't afford to rebuild to code. The few that remain will eventually leave. I hated Ft. Myers Beach because it was too trashy. Hopefully, it will be worth visiting when they rebuild.
People won’t stop making more people, so of course it’s going to become “over developed”. People need places to live so they can continue to make more people.
My house in Port Orange is on the intracoastal five feet above sea level. Due to new codes, if it were ever to sustain great damage, I would not be allowed to repair it unless I could raise it a few feet, which would be financially impossible for me. I have two choices. Pray that any hurricane damage isn't extensive or sell while it's in perfect condition. Sometimes, life brings us uncomfortable choices.
She’s building rebuilding her house by herself? Is she a contractor? Or working with one? You would want to rebuild to code with permits so your investment and the structure. is sound. I would think.
Oh cmon boomers. Sell your property, realize your millions of equity you’ve gained and liver somewhere else. Life goes on. Barrier islands aren’t static.
You sound envious... I was born/raised in FM and selling out and getting away from the water only makes sense. Living on/near the water is sexy but inevitably stupid.😮
It would be a responsible use of tax dollars to buy out homeowners on Fort Myers Beach and turn most of it into a state park. It is such a beautiful area.
Not sure what these people want. Government shouldn't make building standards based on what people can afford, but what challenges the area faces. No one thinks government should subsidize building hurricane prone areas. So either lots are returned to nature or only people who can afford to build to a code that limits insurance payouts to homes built in high risk areas.
Elevating your home may work for a while. But eventually, with sea levels rising, the water won’t recede. Then what? Kayak to the grocery store? By allowing these homes to be built/rebuilt, the city of Fort Myers Beach will be obligated to provide utilities, services, and infrastructure for them: water, sewer, trash, roads, etc. That is costly to build and maintain. Is that a wise use of taxpayers’ money?
Best quote I heard from a survivor from one of the recent hurricanes: "Sometimes when you live next to the ocean, you live IN the ocean" Financial Darwinism, IMHO. Michigan ain't sexy, but sure does lack the drama of rebuilding my house every few years. I'll just pay be be one of the visitors, as I think tourism entities could buy up that land and afford to pay for the kind of hurricane-proofing that private retired individuals can't. It sucks, but paradise isn't cheap, and it's scarce.
See this is the rationality of emotion. "I love living by the beach. The sunset views, the sea birds, the massive waves. It's all so enthralling.". Maybe we need to reexamine our choices? Perhaps if the Army Corps of Engineers were NOT actively renourishing beaches and dunes, then Nature would follow the prescribed highly variable and mobile coastal plan? Maybe the Barrier Islands need to be left alone for sea birds to nest? Maybe the land around the shores could be replanted with millions of Black and Red Mangrove seedlings? Maybe we could resist building our retirement cities within 1000 feet of the high tide mark? Or better yet, not develop at all within the Storm Surge plot, for a now not so unrealistic storm surge of 20 feet in height associated with a Category 5 Hurricane with a 20 or so mile wide Eye? Yes, that would be terrible, and politically as unsupported as ending the funding for the Affordable Care Act or Social Security/Medicare. The Third Rail of Florida Land Use? Holy Grail? Sacred Cow? We have to stop funding rich people. Sure if they want to build there, they need special permission and NO government support and their costs including storm abatement is theirs. But really the whole hardening the beach zones was a mistake. We seem to do this dance, two steps forward (progress?) and two steps back. A least they are not rebuilding the aging Pacific coast hydroelectric dams now that we have alternatives for energy production. If they can rewild the Klamath River, then we in Florida should be able to rewild the Florida estuarine coastal zones. I would like to see the Indian River and the St. Lucie River back to their clear blue, with abundant sea grass meadows, like the history of Martin County says was prevalent in the 1920's.
FACELIFT is a cosmetic procedure. We need to think Structural Change. I mean a whole new Structure. Or, you can move in land? Or you can move to Albuquerque? No Tornados, No Hurricanes, No Earthquakes, No Floods. Just a quiet high Chaparral, Scandia Mountains in the East, the Rio Grand flowing through down from Colorado. Quite a bunch of nice smaller, 2-3 bedroom houses with small lots for $225 to $325 K purchase price. Just go there some Springtime or Fall. Hike in the mountains. Maybe a colder, winter is NOT SO bad when you realize it does NOT come with two feet of snow and ice like Boston, or upstate NY. So, you heard that it has crime. Really? Crime in a city? Imagine that? The real crime is the insurance rates most people are paying for very limited use of their auto's as retirees and very limited risk in small postage stamp condo's miles from the nearest river or beach. All just to support the high end properties and the LOW end marginally insured working poor. The Middle Class always gets SCREWED and we just sit there and say NOTHING. Time to PROTEST LOUDLY. RICH SCOT and MARCO RUBIO. Call and write and threaten to vote for their competition if they DON"T DO SOMETHING VERY Tangible now. ALSO don't forget to write that BOZO in Tallahassee.

Shouldnt be allowed to rebuild, pay them in full and leave the coast line uninhabitable. What are we going to do about insurance ? Drop the state?

No kiddn! Change zoning no development a mile from the beach
Lesson learned, Florida is a swamp live here at your own risk. I would never live in that danger zone.
Yeah, mansions and beachfront condos built to withstand the storm. They can afford to self insure. But real people will move far inland.
