How do we handle the expense of compensating whole cities, like Miami or New York? It most likely is less expensive to save these areas then let them go. If the oceans rise to 25+ feet then we have no choice but to retreat. One of the realities is the cost to compensate owners of not just beach front properties.

Its not. The pt. that the Ocean is rising really means that eventually we'll have to move back not continue in a utterly futile attempt to use increasingly expensive and scarce beach sand to hold the line. In the long run, some beach front owners are going to have to be bought out and society is going to have to allow the seas to go where they want.
