The economic downturn from having to move all the people out of S. Florida, and to somewhere else that is safer, will be MUCH WORSE than the 2008 downturn. It will really suck to have an $850K S FL property suddenly valued at $0, and find you have to move out of it, especially if you still have a large mortgage.
I will bet you the gentlemanly wager of 1.00 usd just like in the movie Trading Places that 50yrs from now South Florida and the Florida Keys will still be pretty much the way they are now. I can only go 50 years as I am 57 now and this is if we just hold the current environmental improvements in place.
