Managed Out Of Your Home

Managed Retreat may sound like a climate resilience strategy, but in reality, it poses a serious threat to private property rights. Under this policy, homeowners in so-called "at-risk" areas—often determined by speculative future sea level rise models—can be pressured or coerced into abandoning their homes. Once a region is labeled as unsuitable for long-term habitation, insurance can be pulled, building improvements denied, and property values destroyed. Over time, this soft pressure can lead to forced buyouts or land devaluations, stripping residents of their ability to maintain or sell their homes on fair terms.

The true danger lies in the government-managed erosion of individual rights, where bureaucrats—not property owners—decide whether your community has a future. This agenda is often driven by international climate policy frameworks and urban "re-wilding" ideologies, not local democracy or common sense. Once your land is taken or de-zoned, it rarely returns to private hands. Managed retreat effectively becomes managed removal—and the loss is permanent, generational, and deeply unjust.
