When You Should Not Adapt in Place
by Sharon Astyk
http://www.energybulletin.net/node/52992

Most of the people who take Adapting-In-Place, reasonably enough, are doing
so because they intend to stay where they are or fairly nearby in the coming
decades. They know that they may not be in the perfect place, but for a host
of reasons - inability to sell a house, job or family commitments, love of
place...you name it, they are going to stay. Or maybe it is the best possible
place for them. But I do think it is important to begin the class with the
assumption that everything is on the table. Because as little as each of us
likes to admit it, it is. There will be many migrations in the coming
decades, many of them unwilling and unwanted. And it is always easier (not
easy) to consciously choose to step away before you are forced to leave than
it is to abandon in pain and storm and disaster your home and never be fully
able to return. So it is important to ask - who should not stay in place?
