I guess the hardest part of this ordeal for me to understand is why anyone with a reasonable level of intelligence would consider residing in a city so close to several major bodies of water that was BELOW sea level. I suppose the same reason why people chose to build houses in flood planes, near major fault lines, near active/dormant volcanoes, etc. The view or the weather might be nice, but I'm pretty happy to be a long way away from places like that.
