[quote=sdduuuude][quote=urbanrealtor]Lots of people have complained that putting a city in Hurricane alley is a bad idea.[/quote]
Putting a city below sea level in a hurricane alley is even worse.
I love New Orleans, also, but it really shoud be A) filled in like Seattle 100 years ago or B) Abandoned.[/quote]
While were at it, why don’t we put SF somewhere that is not A: on sand or B: on the San Andreas.
Answer: Because it would cost more in a shot than fixing the entire city after a disaster. If there ever were a disaster so dire as to make the city totally unusable an irreparable, then moving or heavily modifying it would make sense.
The same logic applies here. Until repairing gets more expensive than major structural operations (or abandonment), then it is unlikely to be undertaken.
Differences of several billion dollars make a difference.
