Looks like my property is gonna be on the new coast of Florida in a few years. I'm gonna be rich!

Damn at just 5 ft most of southern Louisiana is completely submerged. And these are probably not the wealthiest people so where do they go? Do they live in FEMA trailers further in land? Do we as a country have a contingency plan for this ? I doubt it but I hope I'm wrong.
I mean there probably are enough homes to help these people but that may cut into Blackrock's rental profit so that's out of the question....
The more I look at this map the more overwhelmed I get at the number of people that will be displaced at just 5 ft.
We'll have the very best trailer park parties.
This map makes sea level rise look like nothing
