Depends on the cause of the flooding. If it’s failure to enforce limits on impervious surface of new construction, they need to fix that. If it’s climate change, they need to make policies that address the causes of climate change (e.g. zoning reform for walkability).
That’s in addition to buying out the properties, not instead of, BTW.
If New Jersey acts but other entities don’t, the fight against climate change might fail. If nobody acts because they assume everybody else won’t, the fight will definitely fail.
Therefore, your question is irrelevant and New Jersey must act.

And how will that change coastal inundation?
