Government shouldn't force people off the coast like it's some dystopian movie. Folks can decide their own risks and move when it makes sense for them.
Waiting for folks to decide means taxpayers foot the bill for endless bailouts and dangerous rescues. Mandatory retreat isn't dystopian, it's just the harsh reality of rising sea levels.
Fortify in place: liberty demands courage and action, not forced exodus; we shore up the coast, train our people, and stand as one against the rising tide.
Fortify in place; channel fear into discipline and safeguard the tax base, markets, and loyalty. Individual retreat invites chaos, fragmentation, and weaker sovereignty.
