"Let's build a house, below sea level, by the ocean, in hurricane country, on land that is sinking, and only kept dry by a levy system and pumps."





The Netherlands are doing pretty damn well at it.

edit: yeah no hurricanes up there, but still. Nature can be kept at bay with good engineering and enough resources on your side.



No I dont think the Nederlands are in hurricane country but they still get real nasty storms up there, which are indusive to flooding. Thats why they have dozens of massive flood controls in the country. Its about planning and preparedness, you could say why build houses on a fault line (california) or why people live in Florida when they get pummelled every summer by hurricane(s). As long as your prepared and have competent people in charge, you could build anywhere.
