Lodestar’s Poll: Three possible responses to rising waters [View all]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1127&pid=93782
Engineers say there are three possible responses to rising waters: undertake coastal defense projects; adapt with actions like raising roads and buildings; or abandon land to the sea. Lacking a national strategy, the United States applies these measures haphazardly. If you lived on the coastline, had a business there or other interest, which policy would you choose?
