I think having a home, built on stilts, is a good thing, if you are in an area that is pron to floods. Where i grow up, it was miles from the river, but it was still low land. we had the house up, an never worried about it. The neighbors that didn't, had water in their homes.

Added benefits to having a house on stilts or pillars, if your lot is not huge, you can park under your home. That's big in the Keys. And its easier to get to the plumbing, if it ever needs fixed.

The expected average sea level rise based on current trends is about 2 feet by the end of the century. Building homes on pillars might be useful in some places, or in places with permafrost, but not all.

Quotes by Sagebrush (a self proclaimed Christian and ardent AGW denier) :

"Execute all those who voted for OBAMA"

"Hire the handicapped, they are fun to watch!"

You can if you want. I wouldn't do it because of what the greenies say. they haven't been right so far.

Quote by Noel Brown, UN official: "Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of "eco-refugees," threatening political chaos."

Obama said thay with his election the seas would begin to receed.

In the UK new homes are not built anywhere able to flood because they would be un-insurable and therefore un-mortgageable.

If your talking about sea level rise, it's measured in centimeters that's how small it is. apart from that it is necessary to judge according to the locality.

sorry I don't see why not.
