When siblings disagree on climate adaptation for family property

My sister and I inherited our parents' property in an area that's now getting hit with severe flooding every few years, and we can't agree on whether to sell or try to adapt it for climate change. She wants to honor what our parents built and I think we're just throwing money at a losing battle, and now we barely talk about anything else.
