Didn't Obama just spend 15million for an on-beach estate?

(EDIT: Apparently sale is not finalized)

It's a nice looking place and it'll be okay for the rest of his life (and probably his kids if they keep it). After that things get more worrying.

There are actually maps which show where the water levels will be at each year. My great grandma's house was recently sold for over $1m and only has 70 years before it will be permanently underwater and likely destroyed by 50 years if there is any heavy rainfall.

I wish more wealthy people would lead by example though. Like instead if Obamas bought much smaller place and made it carbon neutral.

Also, I have no idea, but what is the timeline for ocean's rising to make a place like his on beach uninhabitable? I thought it was much less time, like 12 years or so, there are so many predictions out there.
