Yep, that's why its called the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and I guess as a resident I own a bit of it, the problem is, of the bit I own, most of its is below sea level once, sometimes twice a day.
That's facsinating, really. Those houses on stilts. Do the people use cars &/or boats?
Do they have little webs of skin between their toes & is it why your adopted left foot looks a bit like a flipper

Wednesday and Thursday the road was put back in. Every year since 1991 it has been washed out during fall or winter Atlantic storms. This gets these folks around 8 weeks of use in the summer to enjoy there there homes on stilts. I guess if you live out there you have a 4wd vehicle or you don't visit home off season.

p.s. - The two photos of the pool in the backyard are a average tide near its when its a new moon or full moon with 30 to 40 knot winds out of the North East for a acouple days. As the speed of the wind goes up so does tha pucker effect. October 30th 1991 the wind was 50+ knots or better for 3 days. The tides were slightly above normmal and the water was a couple inches Above the bottom of the door in the second photo. The rug was wet in several places, had a Lot of luck that day.
There have been 2 "hundred year storms" one in February 1978 the other in October, 1991, we are over due for another.
