I think started mostly of a drainage thing. Southern Florida is fucked regardless of those canals. The peninsula is like karst so they can't even build a dike like New Orleans.

    Sooo, not just at high risk thanks to climate change but also poisoning the ocean too? Very cool.

    Don't worry, the ocean is poisoning us back with salt water intrusion into the aquifers.
