A massive 200 Billion Dollar Sea Wall, built around New York to protect it from rare storms, is a costly, foolish & environmentally unfriendly idea that, when needed, probably won’t work anyway. It will also look terrible. Sorry, you’ll just have to get your mops & buckets ready!

Damn, I would have told them one wall at a time. Get the southern one finished then we'll talk about that one.

Ironically it would be built by the same folks building the wall on the border.

I am also not sure if this is really a political item as much as an engineering one. It is nearly identical to the MRGO built in New Orleans (also not a political item).

No seawall can prevent all flooding in a storm of adequate size, but the Galveston seawall has prevented enormous damage over the course of the century since its construction.

Trying to stop the dreaming sea creatures from living the great life of alley rats. That’s racist

That’s like building a wall all along the Gulf of Mexico to keep out hurricanes.

Our sea wall the MRGO cost 1.1 billion to go 2 miles. $200 billion would be a little under 400 miles if my math is correct.

I had a totally different wall around NYC in my mind. Shouldn't it be on the outsides of the city?

Is it your opinion it's a good thing? Bad thing? Anything besides just throwing in something to make it seem that you know more than others? I haven't been on this site for long but it seems to be the thing you do the most.
