Based on the 6m projection, I'll be sitting pretty.  Does anyone know a good dock builder?  I might as well be ahead of the game.

After this December, when the Mayans are vindicated, none of this will really matter.

I'm good for the 3m mark, but the 6m rise wipes out the whole neighborhood.  My childhood community of the beaches disappears completely at the 1m level.

I would imagine most of our houses are off grade on piers or footer walls already, all you gotta do is keep jacking it up.  Then you have a sweet fishing shack vacation home.  Sounds like this is a win-win to me.
