That’s not a shark, that’s a Florida real estate developer. /s

Every time I see one of those “Beachfront Bargain Hunt” shows I think of the recent hurricanes. So many of the beachfront communities they show seem to be built on bits of sand bar that happen to stick out of the ocean. Before long some of those will be submerged in a storm surge and never unsubmerge.

There seems to be some real reality-denial when it comes to beachfront property… I was reading about some ocean-side cottages going for around a million dollars each in Massachusetts - despite the fact that the houses were only a few feet from the edge of the bluff (and it erodes three or four feet a year). People were willing to pay a million-and-a-quarter dollars for a house, apparently ignoring the fact that would fall into the ocean within a couple years.

For the rich, gratuitous wastefulness is a desired feature. Non-disposable, practical houses that are actually important fixtures in peoples’ lives are for poor people- or rather, for renting out to poor people, because nobody who isn’t rich can actually afford to buy a home any more.

too big too fail comes to mind as well. buy a trailer, and good luck getting it replaced. buy a mansion or some beachfront property, maybe you get a nice buyout in a few years
you’d really think they’d realize a sign from god when one happens
steal an election. hurricane. don’t say gay? bigger hurricane
and probably no rainbows after either.

That’s part of it - but there’s also a deep, deep denial going on all over the country about the longevity of coastal properties (and a lot of other climate-precarious areas as well).
