I'm not likely to buy this game, but I'm still more likely to buy it than willingly visit Florida (I'll only go if I get sent to the concentration camp)

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Large sections will remain above sea level, but Miami is fucked, and arguably before it ever becomes underwater. Sea water creep ruins fresh water sources far further inland than it submerges them, while the Peninsula shape causes most of the state within 50 miles of the ocean. On top of that, hurricanes have already caused neighborhoods to become abandoned, as there isn't the money or will to rebuild something that'll just end up destroyed again. As infrastructure gets ruined and people flee, the state will not have the ability to maintain itself. Florida will go from one of the most populus states to an Oklahoma sized one.
I agree with you about most of that but people will continue to live in Florida and likely it will become even more corpo. Hopefully our building standards shift since home insurance availability is becoming a crisis.
It won't be an intentional exodus; just an economically inevitable one. The cost for even the corpos won't outweigh the benefits, with the only property that'll be financed is the property that is more temporary.
People are stubborn. I anticipate a more RV and condominium centric development. Many of these investments will be sure to fail after 50 years but by then the decision makers will be retired. But I expect the livability of Florida to remain on par with other areas until 2070. We are going to see an increase in natural hazards all over the world. With these we will hopefully see advancements in material science and construction. People are stubborn and adversity breeds progress.
