Interesting.. That kind of sounds like it would be impossibly expensive for the government as the sea level rises.

Depends- at some point it usually becomes cheaper to provide flood protection, if enough houses are close to one another.

Plus those grants are kinda complex to navigate, and you can't do it as an individual. It has to be part of a local communities overall flood mitigation / risk-reduction plan.
