Seriously. If they do it with a country almost completely below sea level, a city should be a cake walk.
Why put the price of building a new city above sea level into one which is below sea level? If the Dutch had the choice I'd bet they would rebuild above.
I think that's been the point of this whole thread, dbu.
I have other things that divert my attention so I may at times not be completely up to date on the latest.
Bong hits for breakfast?
We just so happen to have a Bong Recreational Facility over the line in Wisconsin. Exit 340 on I-94.
Actually it's named for Dick Bong, a famous WW2 flyer from Wisconsin.

We could start an entire thread just on this...
That originally was going to be Bong AFB, but it was derailed before it was completed.
It's happening before your very eyes, :)
You think it's cheap to do that? They have no choice. If you have the choice, it's a lot smarter to simply build on higher ground.
Even when it's in a hurricane zone?
Yes I know, but just seeing that sign, "Bong Recreational Area" on I-94 is enough to get the entire carload giggling. . . I wonder how many times that sign's been stolen?
