Right, so that'd be part of moving us to the "easy to do" end of the spectrum.
I don't feel the community does a great job of "leading the horses to water" though. I know I avoided VPNs for the longest time after learning half a thing about logging and such, and largely only jumped on the band wagon when it got wrapped up into my existing proton mail subscription.
How can we do a better job of leading the uninformed to water is the real question, I think.

The near symmetry, ah, I see weve found the true Vorin solution.

FEMA doesn't do that? I def agree they shouldn't, but I thought that was one of the things they did.
The eminent domain bit feels like its probably too big for anything smaller than a large city to handle, so seems like states handling that is a good move. Don't suppose you know of any states with any active lines of effort in that direction?
Those are some interesting reads, and really appreciate the response + resources.
I do feel the attempt to buyout the residents in the CA example is a good move, but it does basically amount to abandoning the town (as the OP seems to think will be the norm. Glad the state is attempting to do something to help, even if it feels like a half measure.
It feels like FEMA (as imperfect as they are) would have been a program that would've helped if a landslide wiped out a town though? Either that or the builders of the township would've had to sign away a bunch of their rights to that as part of building into the area (kinda feels like the case for Bayocean?) if it was known to be disaster prone.
Idk, how does the community feel about building in disaster prone areas? Like, if you want to build a house in a flood zone, I think you should be allowed to do it, but also, you're on your own when a flood comes, ya know?
I don't want to discount the people who lost land and homes due to the creation of dams and reservoirs (My great grandpa purportedly lost his home due to some of this), but that feels really different than losing a coastal town due to rising sea levels.
Obviously from an American perspective, FEMA is very imperfect, but that we have structures and systems like FEMA makes it feel like people in coastal towns that get "washed away" will have some form of safety net to fall back on.
Am I missing something in that assessment?
I've been curious about this myself, but haven't heard any news to this effect. Can you provide any examples of this happening in the past (preferably within the last 50 years)?
Thats good to know and good to hear the craft scene is going strong. Most of them in my area like to make overly hoppy brews, but I do prefer the notion of buying local/semi-local.
Is that to say that there are liquor/package stores that are better to buy from?
Really neat find.
In the packing tin, is that a whet stone or like soap? Just a little lost on what the bar in the lower right is.
