Moving to an area of the UK which will be under the sea in 2050?

I live in East Kent already, but in a more expensive area and I'd love to get a larger house as I'm mentally & physically struggling with lack of space where I currently am.

It's very likely to be my home until I need to sell up to fund retirement/pay for care/pay for Uni for my child etc as it's just me and child.

Would it be madness to move to Thanet permanently (forever home) when it will very likely be cut-off from the rest of the Uk in the next couple of decades?

Will the gov build a bridge or will there be ferries? (Ha ha ha any future UK gov being able to pull off infrastructure improvements outside of London!)

I like the area, space is more affordable but is it nuts?

Why plan to have a compulsory purchase around your neck?

Surely you wouldn't be able to get a mortgage or insurance? How would you ever sell it? Wouldn't it basically be worthless?

Actually, maybe the map shows areas which will be at risk of flooding (rather than permanently under water?)

I obviously wouldn't looking at buying anything in the red-flood zone - but Ramsgate/Broadstairs/Margate etc

You might want to let the hundreds of thousands of people who already live there know of this supposed impending disaster. What does the map actually depict?
