Note the land in question was built on landfill in a marsh which has experienced a significant settling over the years(read the article). As it settles, the water comes in - particularly when the moon is affecting tides. Sea levels aren't rising much and it is to be expected if the globe is warming - the water expands as it has done many times before the advent of the Model T. Al Gore's sea level rise propaganda is a joke. The amount of rise from melting ice in Greenland and Antarctica (the significant areas) has been estimated as 1.38" over the next century by scientists analyzing 14 research projects investigating sea level rise.

OTOH, building levies and raising roadways may increase employment for a time.
