American coastal houses face erosion and dwindling home values

1. I'm curious about why the topic of....

...insuring these luxury vacation homes wasn't brought up in that report.

2. Insurance companies wouldn't like that

NBC gets too much in advertising revenue from insurance companies to say anything about premiums skyrocketing or even the inability to obtain it in the first place. They can’t ignore it forever, however, and guess who’s going to get caught in a very uncomfortable situation: Florida’s Governor. Then guess whose side he’ll take: homeowners or insurance companies. If a special niche category is carved out for the 1% of 1% who own the most expensive properties, I hope people mobilize against it.

3. This has been known for over 50 years ... why are houses still being built on these coastlines?

States need to ban any buildings within a quarter mile of the current coastline.
Insurance companies need to stop insuring these properties.
This is not a sudden disaster and these people should not be reimbursed for their losses.

4. When they had to move the lighthouses that should have been a clue, don't ya think?
