Not gonna pretend to be any sort of expert in anything, but from my rudimentary understanding of city planning, most sensible local governments have or follow some sort of civic development guidelines where they are required to build a school, a hospital, a community center or something when the population reaches a certain point. The same thing can be done to relocate climate refugees. You define 3 ranges where:
1) below this population size, the whole place is getting bought out and relocated
2) within this middle range, you get some civic planning expert to do the math on a case by case basis, taking resident wishes into account. You try to get the local population to move if it is cheaper and they are willing.
3) beyond this population size, the local government hunkers down with help from the province / feds to build something that is resilient enough to withstand XXX type of climate disaster.
Lytton would without a doubt fall into category 1. Princeton has a 3000-ish population. If I have to guess, it would probably fall into category 1 as well? Richmond would probably stay, unless we see a forecast so disastrous that would wipe out everything.
