New York City is facing a two-part problem:
Rising flood insurance costs
Recent federal legislation is raising flood insurance costs dramatically for homeowners in older, denser cities. It’s a change that could displace thousands of New York families.
More extreme weather
By 2050, New York City sea levels are expected to rise as high as two and a half feet, making floods from today’s harshest storms more likely to occur.
