Worry about massive sinkholes, rising seas, red tide, green algae, salinization of entire aquifer jeopardizing drinking water, droughts with Big Agra using up the water supply, intensifying hurricanes, leaking septic tanks and overflowing sewers, sunny day flooding, coral bleaching, nuclear power plant leakage, beach erosion, higher heat indices, climate refugees from the island's overwhelming the current infrastructure... and I would not discount the collapse of inland condos. Inspectors and government officials are being paid to look the other way.
