Should they rebuild the Bahamas ?

[Who]

The property is worth more than the slum housing that was destroyed.

But with Global Warming that Island will be under water in a few decades.

PS.
Thank biker, Alabama was spared

[FreakShowFanatic]

Shouldn't you be dead by now?

It should not be rebuilt But it will be.

Yeah.... that's not gonna happen.

Anyway, maybe they can build it better.

Cost vs. profit. That give less than a shit about the residents other than to serve the tourist industry. They will rebuild because the profit is greater. But, given the propensity of stronger and more frequent storms because of climate change, it may not be feasible in the near future. Then we have yet another humanitarian crisis on our hands. No tourism money, and thousands in poverty. And... a country that Trumps base hates brown people.

Sorry for the dbl post. The board strikes again.

[Stapes]

Are you kidding. The wealthy land developers are going to swoop in there with drooly chins. It will be a free for all

[Who]

Rebuild it with luxury condos and ship the commoners inland

Pen Island lover has a point, they can build a condo complex for the locals inland and a underwater sea world on the beach front property. Just one thing, does that island have an inland?

You finally got something right. This is correct.

[PimpDaddy]

Rebuild. Better. And if the resorts can profit for a couple dozen years before it sinks, investors will be pleased. By then, they will need a new flavor of the month to exploit anyway.

My thoughts exactly.

Dons TDS is acute.

The Bahama's what?

[Reservoir Dog]

I still can't believe that they didn't rebuild New Orleans after Katrina.

[beagleboy]

Maybe Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia should just bulldoze the first mile inland from the coast to prevent further tragedies from climate change? I'm sure Dandydon will be fully on board with that.

Might as well add NJ in there.

Only if you care about humanity. How about NY?

A lot of those islands are going to get a lot smaller.

Sink Manhattan out to sea!

Anyone not in favor is a money hungry bastard who puts profits above human suffering. Thankfully I care about my fellow humans. Fire up the bulldozers.

One thing I don't understand and of course is never mentioned in any media accounts/ Aren't the Bahama's a British territory (Like Puerto Rico a US one)? So we are offering massive aid (which is fine), offering to locate thousands here (which is not fine). So where the hell are the Brits?
