And rain water catching/filtering systems fitted for all buildings with consumption needs.

Building out rather than up IS the problem. The massive sprawl of suburbs and big houses is what intrudes upon the everglades. If anything there's a lot of places where the housing and infrastructure needs to be upzoned to address the reality that it's not the 1950s anymore. There's no excuse for us destroying the everglades to build houses while the cities themselves have vacant parking lots and gravel sites owned by real estate investors using it as an investment with 0 intent of actually doing anything with it rather than them actually building things on those sites.

This is great. Hopefully it will restore the wildlife populations.

Sea level rise is expected to cover Florida. The Navy is planning for ship piers to accommodate higher levels of water for current dry ground. The piers themselves have to have higher cleats. walkways, etc.

Miami has spent millions to slow sea level rise. We in central part of the state are seeing the signs of higher tides. Since Nicole and Ian the tides are higher. Eight of ten seawalls failed during Nicole. Daytona is building seawalls along the downtown area section , river. The onshore winds blows for weeks at a time. We got lucky this hurricane season. The cold fronts can play hell with the tides.

Florida is growing because people want to live there. It has nothing to do with good economic conditions at all. In fact, that is the reason why people owned second homes there for many decades. The cost of living WAS good pre 2019, but still, the jobs have always been low paying. So you could buy a second home there, but you could NEVER live there. And unfortunately, a lot of people are now finding out the hard way, that you still can’t. Sure, some will get away with it. Some people always do. But work from home is not turning out to be a permanent change for most people, and what will happen when hundreds of thousands are looking for few, and still low paying, jobs all at once? You need to make about 110K per year to afford a 400K home there, according to the data. Very, very, very few of those jobs are in FL.

Florida's biggest problem is that salt water will replace fresh water when pumped from the aquifers. As the ocean levels rise this is inevitable. Florida is sitting on limestone and only about 3 feet above sea level on the coasts. The center of the state is around 100 feet above sea level.

They don't get it. They move down here and don't take in consideration that florida is a swamp. We have nasty bugs and animals. The land is all wet land except for the bordering parts up north. Instead of accepting that, they get mad about it and complain to the government to do something. This state is not setup to have a giant amount of population by nature and by economics. Some would call this state a republican California. I call it east coast California. Either way California can have a giant population by nature and economics. It's just so screwed up there by politics and cost, that no one can afford or be happy to live there. Florida is not Illinois or Ohio. It can't support this.

We're just gonna build sht taller. That's what happened to Ft. Lauderdale, Miami . Palm Beach county it starting to get taller now. They raised the height limit of the buildings along the water quite a bit. Which I'm good with. Build a big wall of wind brakes across the fkn shore line.

The paper companies should pay for a lot of this issue.

I witnessed forty four years of destruction in florida ..... Nothing but devastation here

Love our tourists ! Yes, please come visit, but don't move here. The wild areas and all the critters who call them home are under way too much pressure.

Half of this is paid for by the Federal Government. That is you and me. The other half is paid for by raising taxes in Florida. They also are having to seriously upgrade their transportation system which was based on a largely agrarian system of roads. That comes from state taxes too. And all of that increased population requires new infrastructure too. Ultimately Florida is going to have to raise its tax rates

Florida is the 5th highest state for average annual rainfall. So the water problem is due in part to the high population. Growth had not been planned for and the water sources and water treatment has often lagged population growth. They charge impact fees on new development for this but there are still issues. It is more important apparently to have a nice lawn that requires fertilizer than to protect the environment. It is also important to be able to flip your house for a profit so you want all the homes around you to look like a golf course. Of course all of this is pretty crazy since incomes are low. Florida.

Over the past 100 years, global temperatures have risen about 1 degree C (1.8 degrees F), with sea level response to that warming totaling about 160 to 210 mm (with about half of that amount occurring since 1993), or about 6 to 8 inches.

removing Brazilian Pepper from the state is impossible, the seeds are spread by birds. The state has taken a mitigation approach, rather than elimination as the plant will regrow if burned or treated with herbicides (e.g. glyphosate). It is removed as much as possible from wild areas and must be removed (dug out) from areas to be developed. Existing stands on private property do not have to remove them so the problem will never go away.
