The assertion that reconstruction will take years is right on the money. The next question is what type of housing or buildings will replace those damaged by the storm.
Then, will sea rise be taken into consideration? Not likely in Florida.
Will the new structures be built to a new building code that requires them to have hurricane mitigation measures, or will we put Humpty Dumpty back on the beach, cracks and all, to fall once more in the future?
The other issue that has been called out is the likely gentrification of this area. Where small beach homes existed before, will huge homes and condos occupy the space?
