Rising sea levels caused by global warming will permanently eliminate densely populated areas on both coasts, experts warn. Southern California, Florida and Cape Cod have already seen huge price run-ups in anticipation of the calamity which has been described by Alan Greenspan as “frothy.” As coastal residents are forced inland, an activity dubbed “surge purge” by Dr. Salvadore “Mustang” Sali, adjacent property valuations are pushed higher by the heavy demand. Of course, the permanent loss of buildable property heightens the effect of surge purge by negatively impacting the supply side. In his soon to be published book, “The Atlantis Effect”, Dr. Sali points to a lesson learned four thousand years ago. “As Atlantis sank and residents were forced to flee to nearby Sicily, the median home prices there skyrocketed,” he writes. “In 1997 BC, only eighty-three grams of salt put you into a median home in the Sicilian market. Five years later, after the last of Atlantis slipped under water, that same home cost more than two kilos of salt!” Dr. Sali sees a repeat of the Atlantis scenario already unfolding in the US and around the world. “More of us will be competing for less land. It’s that simple.”
