    In the real world I’d take the mountain house. In a fantasy world where rising sea levels aren’t a thing to worry about I’d take the beach house.

    I like mountains fine but the sea calms my soul like nothing else.

      the sea calms my soul

      As long as you don’t look under the surface.

      Oceans be scary. (but still great, that’s why I joined the navy once)

      In your lifetime, rising sea levels won’t be an issue. In your kids lifetime is a different story, but we still got another 50+ years before sea levels will rise to a significant degree.

        Is that true? I regularly see on the news that the climate changes faster than the scientists expected and that they have to adjust their models.

          No, it’s not true. Rising sea levels are causing an increase in storms and danger which have already started taking out beach property.
