Actually, on Nantucket (and don't get pissed with the continual references here. This is my home. Firsthand experience, no conjecture) when you beach starts to erode and your property and home begins falling into the sea, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN !
The town's only expense is paying the Fire dept. to burn the home down if it get's to the point where it is condemned. Otherwise, Skippy and Muffy are on their own.
It is otherwise known as Existentialism. The theory that one is responsible for their OWN actions. In these cases building a home near an eroding beach. Nantucket has lost more than 1/4 mile of the South shore in the last 100 years and The east beaches ? Just take a look at the Bass loaded rips if you are ever out there. They are there because of the East beaches eroding into the sea.
It is easy to take a stand but much harder to accept underSTANDing.
