Earthquakes and wildfires in California and the West Coast, floods and tornadoes in Texas, and the rest of the South and NE will also be affected by the same hurricanes and sea level rise that will consume FL first before quickly becoming a problem for the rest of the Eastern US.

Humans can live in virtually any place on Earth if they can adapt to the conditions unique to a specific place. A lot of people already live in the tropics and subtropics around the world. Florida isn't unusual in that respect. Despite its flaws, it's still a place people find themselves coming to. For the time being, building to withstand many of the issues while adapting to the land is important. For one, no more building in low level areas that are known to flood during major storms.

Exactly. You have to try first, rather than give up no questions asked.
