I hate LA Times website. Most of that seaside damage seems to be done by things other than sea level rise, even though sea level rise won't help it any. It's more so the more extreme weather patterns that climate change will bring and the fact that building things that aren't bomb-proof by the sea is generally considered stupid regardless.
This is the low hanging fruit of the climate change conversation, and detracts from its seriousness in my eyes. Extreme temperatures, powerful storms, and agricultural damage should be the only things talked about, at least for CA.

I think that this was a useful article. In California we've been rebuilding Highway 1 every time it falls into the ocean, and have been essentially since it was first built. Articles about how good of an idea it is to continue to build against the ocean are valuable,as many people are still wanting to do exactly that.

The wealthy people who value that road for their sports cars and old people who are sentimental. Aka typically the people that have the most pull with government decisions. And we can always bet California is going to put some kind of historical marker on it to preserve it because it brings in tourism and extremely wealthy people. It borderline has nothing to do with California residents. CA is clearly sick of tourism and wealthy people making our property values unsustainable. I don't think any of us younger, native, impoverished CA residents would mind the 1 being abandoned. The sunken road in my city, San Pedro, was abandoned from environmental damage. The only issue is the logistics of certain areas where the 1 is actually useful. Because getting around the Malibu/Santa Monica hills is a bitch.
