ParticipantI just find Casca hilarious.
Participant[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.

Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Dan: Mountain View, baby! Dad worked at Ford Aerospace in Palo Alto (now Loral/L3) and I went to school at St. Joe’s in LAH and St. Francis HS in Mountain View.[/quote]
Weird.
My family is from there and still owns a real estate company there.
They have been doing this thing of ours for like a century. You and my father (and 2 cousins, and several friends) went to the same highschool.

You’re the fascist. You just haven’t come to grips with it yet.
BTW, what do you have against North Bay? Is this a Mills College sort of thing? You don’t like Larkspur? Or Rohnert Park?[/quote]
No.
I do find Rohnert park detestable (and yet Cotati is intrinsically humorous) but the concern is that I grew up in Rose Town (thats Santa Rosa).I was finding it creepy (basically starting with “THe Man Comes Around” comment)with some of the parallels. That thought had been occurring to me last night. I was half afraid to find out we had gone to the same highschool or something.
Last thing we need is 2 wine country hillbillies who read too much.
