Acknowledge the reality we live in (climate, environmental, social, political) and adapt positively to create the best future we can for all our residents and visitors. We must:
1. Level the playing field economically and socially. Tax the ultra-wealthy; don't let them find loopholes through the wealth defense industry.
2. Stop pretending we're in 1960.
2.1 Develop public transit - including by water - and stop prioritizing automobiles. Get excellent public transit out to the remote parts of the County. WE USED TO HAVE TRAINS EVERYWHERE!
2.2 Acknowledge that we need people of all income levels to be able to afford to live here. Gated communities are so last century.
3. Stop expecting 'someone' (who? the Federal Government? the State?) to pay for sea level rise adaptation, and stop pretending we won't have to do managed retreat. At this point our only viable solution is to let the water back where it naturally needs to be. We can do this.
Thank you!
