Richard,
Oh yes it can be rebuilt!
Why would anyone be dumb enough to rebuild a city below sealevel once
its been destroyed ? If you want it , you build it and you pay for it
with your money,not mine.
Consider the amount of the increase in insurance rates alone coming as
a result of poor decisions made years ago. When is enough insanity ,
enough?

The land values in the area are not zero. We can rebuild three to six
story buildings with interlinked floors above the third floor and the
ground floor being car parking squash courts, indoor soccer, basket
ball, dance halls. Covered drying areas for clothing also works. Fewer
buildings, more parkland and build up so the first floor with anyone
living on it will be above sea level plus 4 meters. The power, data,
water, sewers etc can be rebuilt so they are flood proof or above the
sea level. It can be done but it probably wont be done.
