As a Floridian, let me just say something about water.

It is not an ornament. It is not a playground. It is a soup of fish poop and lawn fertilizer runoff and sometimes reptilian carnivores that preceded and outlived the dinosaurs. It wants you to gawk at it and forget about inconvenient details like "flood plains" "storm surge" and "evacuation zones." But water is patient and given half a chance or 140 mile an hour winds blowing out from the sea against the coastline, it will take back that mangrove swamp that developers half a century ago drained off and sold to unsuspecting dupes as "paradise."

I personally didn't lose anything in Helene or Ian or Charley, but I've known people who did, and I have had the experience of trying to estimate how screwed I was based on the water level against the mailbox.

What is happening in Florida ironically fits a model that has been discussed in many places but especially Robert Evans et al's "It Could Happen Here" with is term "the crumbles." Less of a sudden, sharp societal collapse and more of a slow but steady erosion. There are people along the Florida coastline, especially in Big Bend (that's the curve between the peninsula and the Panhandle for those not in the know) and the Fort Myers metro area that have experienced devastating flooding two or three times in two years now. The insurance market is a mess because not only is a bad for profit business model to insure coastal Florida areas, its turning into something that's simply not feasible. The money just isn't there.

So what does that mean longterm? Well for the near term, probably an acceleration of existing trends. People who already were being priced out by property taxes and the uninsurability of their homes and business calling a quits and leaving for other areas. If you leave in a rapidly overheating housing market in the Sunbelt, you may very well already be familiar with refugees from Florida's insane politics and crazier housing costs turning up.

The properties they sold off or abandoned will likely be acquired by deep pocketed interests who will redevelop them into some mix of more resilient or something more disposable: expensive timeshares and vacation rentals for instance. Itinerant residents tend to have no loyalty to the community, resent paying into schools and infrastructure, and care little if the area is ecologically ruined and denuded of native wildlife and plant life because for them the carefully manicured and managed illusion of nature will be assumed to be reality.

As a Floridian is my deep seated conviction that having your economic driver be tourism and planned communities breeds reactionary politics. Hospitality doesn't really care if its workers are well educated as long as it has workers. If it has to import those workers and have them live dormitory style, then that's what it will do. Hospitality has no vested interest in infrastructure beyond the walls of its carefully curated experiences, although too much crime and poverty in the news might be a problem.

This is much the same for planned communities that market heavily to remote workers and retirees out of state. Thus there's money for law enforcement but not public infrastructure, public green spaces, education, healthcare etc. because there are amenities to be provided at a premium and on a for profit basis by the owner, not entitlements for people outside the walls of the planned community.

And it almost assuredly breeds contempt. The maintenance department, the check in clerk, the ride share driver: these are not your neighbors. They're from another country, if not literally, then proverbially. They're from the outside. The outside where it is dirty and people are presumed uneducated, coarse, and unruly.

And of course, savvy politicians lean into this. Watch the political ads. The real Floridians are identified as retired or upper middle class suburbanites. No one is for the farm hands picking the ever declining citrus monocultures, the crops falling prey to disease and the land itself becoming more valuable for housing than it is commercial use. If you have a lawn care or pool cleaning business, you can imagine they're talking to you when they talk about small business owners, but there again its not as your employees or perhaps even you get to live in the same neighborhoods as your clients and increasing its not clear you get to live anywhere.

There is some small, dark satisfaction to be gained from the knowledge that, much like the next wave of construction that will happen along the coasts, the pastures, wilderness, and farmland being paved over has been left green for good reasons and the bill for fraudulent impact assessments and security theater flood mitigation will come due. But the developers will have long ago fled town with suitcases full of cash, leaving their tenants waist deep in sewage and hungry reptiles after substandard seawalls and pumps failed.

It would be easy to hate the ignorant who didn't look beyond the walls of their gated communities. In the end they will be suckers and I pity them because many of them will lose family photos and home equity, only to have their insurance company declare insolvency and fight their claims tooth and nail. Many of them will not be the uber rich, many will be the petite bourgeois whose extravagant (by our standards) lifestyle was always far more perilous than they or we could have possibly imagined.

Because water is patient and it will have its swamp back.

Can a Pond Hurt Your Home Value?

Ponds can be a charming addition to any property, offering tranquility and a touch of nature's beauty. However, when it comes to home value, the impact of a pond isn't always crystal clear. Homeowners often wonder whether having a pond on their property could potentially hurt their home's value. In this article, we'll delve into the factors that influence how a pond might affect your property's worth.

Understanding the Impact

1. Aesthetic Appeal

Ponds can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of a property. A well-maintained pond with lush vegetation and perhaps some decorative features like water fountains or ornamental fish can create a picturesque setting that appeals to many homebuyers. However, if the pond is poorly maintained or overly dominating the landscape, it could have the opposite effect, detracting from the property's overall appeal.

2. Property Size and Location

The impact of a pond on home value can vary depending on the size of the property and its location. In rural or suburban areas where large lots are common, a pond might be seen as a desirable feature, especially if it adds to the property's privacy and natural charm. In contrast, in urban or densely populated areas where space is at a premium, a pond might be viewed as taking up valuable real estate that could be used for other purposes.

3. Maintenance Requirements

One crucial factor that can influence how a pond affects home value is its maintenance requirements. A well-maintained pond that adds to the property's appeal without requiring excessive upkeep is likely to have a positive impact on home value. However, if the pond requires frequent cleaning, repairs, or chemical treatments, it could be seen as a burden by potential buyers, potentially lowering the property's value.

4. Liability and Safety Concerns

Ponds can also raise liability and safety concerns for homeowners. If not adequately fenced or secured, a pond could pose a drowning risk, especially for families with young children. Additionally, ponds that attract pests like mosquitoes or become breeding grounds for algae can create health hazards and further diminish the property's value.

Whether a pond enhances or hurts your home's value depends on various factors such as its aesthetic appeal, maintenance requirements, property size, and location. While a well-maintained pond can add to the property's charm and appeal, an unkempt or poorly situated pond could detract from its value. Ultimately, homeowners should carefully weigh the pros and cons of having a pond and consider factors such as maintenance, safety, and market trends before making a decision.

FAQs

1. Do ponds increase property value?

Ponds can increase property value if they are well-maintained and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the property. However, poorly maintained or unsightly ponds could have the opposite effect.

2. How can I enhance the value of my pond?

To enhance the value of your pond, ensure it is well-maintained, landscaped attractively, and potentially incorporate features like water fountains or ornamental fish. Additionally, address any safety concerns and keep the surrounding area tidy and well-maintained.

3. Are there any potential drawbacks to having a pond on my property?

While ponds can enhance the beauty of a property, they also come with maintenance requirements and potential safety hazards. Additionally, poorly maintained ponds could detract from the property's value and attract pests or algae, creating additional challenges for homeowners.
