Home owners shouldn't expect buy outs in future

The house featured on Grand Designs NZ about a year back built just above the high tide mark in the Kapiti area was a case in point of people completely ignoring the risks of sea level rise and increasingly volatile storms. They experienced a near miss in that regard during construction but just went on regardless. Madness, and homeowners of that type shouldn't expect any 'safety net' when it all turns to custard for them.
