This is far from a simple solution. Who sits on planning committees? Councillors. What's always a vote winner? Pandering to NIMBYs and BANANAs by pledging to keep house prices high 'preserve the local environment'.
Build new homes on raised platforms or stilts?

Maybe even floating platforms so they raised with the water level?
