This what people fail to grasp - if you move where deserts, forests and rivers are, even if you loose nothing 'net', now your city is in in the desert, has no fresh water, the suer system doesnt work because the ocean level is higher, and all you infrastructure needs to be rebuilt

Doesn't even have to change a great deal. Been watching real estate in regional towns where I live in Australia and places that are somewhat dry now but at risk of getting drier/hotter are full of cheap houses struggling to sell. Everyone's thinking the same thing about the prospects of that town in 10-20 years, and it's on top of the usual plight of small country towns.
