Impact analysis
Expect big long-term bills for relocation, flood protection, and infrastructure—plus pressure on home values and insurance costs.
Early planning gives residents and property owners clearer options and helps the city avoid a chaotic, expensive retreat later.
Homeowners, especially low-income residents, could face falling property values, rising insurance costs, and displacement if relocation planning moves forward.
