Planned retreat from shoreline:
"Many people were worried a planned retreat would make insurance more expensive and drive down property values. They also feared planned retreat would threaten the entire existence of their community."
"We need to:
• air grievances
• find areas of agreement between warring factions
• allow affected people and planners to debate what’s fair for individuals and communities
• acknowledge emotions are part of the process."
