In 100 Years Rising Seas Will Prove We Were Right

When we were shopping for new homes in Foster City, the same model that we were interested in, but adjacent to the water, was available for $25,000 more. Nope, $25,000 was a lot of money, and besides, we didn't enjoy rafting or canoeing that much. Over the years, watching our neighbors having to clean up after the ministrations of ducks, geese, and sea gulls, we never regretted our choice.

Today the premium for a waterfront home is $200,000-$300,000.

OK, we regret it just a little.
